Growing up in the Midwest (and across from a buffalo farm), I was built tough for winters and unafraid to roll up my sleeves with a willingness to dig in to help anyone.  There’s no task too big or small, above or beyond me.

I’m curious about the world in front of me and beyond and willing to pave a path of the unknown. We will figure it out, together.

I learned loyalty at a young age, especially with Cleveland sports teams.

Family and people matter. We are all human and connecting is at our core. I welcome everyone cheerfully and we often share stories as we cross paths in the hallway.

And at the end of the day, I want people to be happy. Happy with a job well done and proud of the work they did. Finding fulfillment and accomplishment, with a leader who cares most about heart count, not head count.
