From my undergraduate years to now, I’ve always been involved in many different things and had a knack for working hard on more than one thing at a time. In high school, I participated in the multi-sport event of the Decathlon, and continued on with this in college. This nurtured my competitive spirit, and allowed me to really practice persistence, practice, and dedication. Since those more nimble youthful years and carrying over those skills, I’ve developed a true passion for people and building relationships. I enjoy connecting with people to build strong businesses and strong economies. Strong businesses and strong economies all start with a person and a place.
