Summary

Ten plus years of direct sales, business development, project management, training, coaching, and business operations experience comprise the foundation for my professional development. A growth mindset and a focus on honing my abilities in leadership, consultation, negotiation, and practicing empathy have ultimately shaped the contours of my professional trajectory. My passions include: quality time with loved ones, helping others grow and develop, adventure travel and the great outdoors, personal fitness and healthy living. I subscribe to the notion that, whatever hand we are dealt, hard work and perspective are the most crucial influences toward the outcome we desire.
