I was born and raised in the State of Michigan. I have been around business all of my life with my parents becoming entrepreneurs when I was 7 years old and I started my own business at the age of 14.
Since that time, I have worked in several industries; Electrical Contracting, Pipeline, Excavating, Landscaping, Nursery, Lawn Care, Rental business, Real Estate. I have held several positions from the lowest rung on the ladder knee deep in mud to the highest through senior management and ownership of 3 different companies.
I hold a BBA as a dual major in Marketing and Management as well as an MBA from the Devos Graduate School of Management at Northwood University in Midland Michigan.
For me, I have found I am most comfortable as an entrepreneur, critical thinker, problem solver and all things business.
My 26 years of business experience and advanced formal business education gives me a unique ability to function in many areas of business management.
