About Me

I’m a small town guy with an open mind. Being on the water or in the woods is my natural habitat. As I grew up, my teenage years were spent working on a freight dock every afternoon as a dock foreman. I have always enjoyed helping people and making others feel important, but the capacity at which I could do that was limited. After 3 years in the workforce, I decided to move to college to pursue higher education and broaden my career possibilities. I originally pursued a degree in athletic training, but I quickly changed course to work towards a degree in marketing communications. Although marketing communications is the last place anyone expects a country boy from a small town to end up, I am grateful for the lessons learned and the people I have met along this journey. My years in the workforce helped to develop a strong work ethic and my years in college have provided a clearer understanding of working with others from all walks of life. Each season of my life has prepared me to have “down to earth” conversations with people, conveying a sense of trustworthiness and understanding, and I believe that will lead me as I pursue further career opportunities.
