Personal Background

Beginning as a ski instructor at 15, I have always been drawn to helping people, especially helping someone understand a difficult process or skill. I use that drive daily during work projects, asking "how will this benefit all involved?" At every stop in my employment history, I have been asked by management to lead a team & increase my responsibility.
