About Me

On the weekends you'll probably find me at the dog park or trails with my corgi Scully, at home playing video games, or possibly at a local brewery trying a new craft beer. On a work day, you'll find me doing all I can to find the best possible solution to meet client needs and goals. My commitment to our clients doesn’t end at 5pm on Friday, evenings and weekends I’m regularly devoting extra effort for the best outcome for a client’s success.
