I am a dynamic and accomplished individual, born in the early 80s and raised with a deep appreciation for discipline, teamwork, and the great outdoors. I grew up as a three-sport athlete in high school and later became a collegiate rugby player, instilling a lifelong passion for athleticism, competition, and pushing boundaries.

My love for the outdoors extends far beyond the playing field, as I find solace in hunting, fishing, and farming. This connection with nature and the land has shaped my values and approach to leadership.

In 2001, I embarked on my professional journey in the restaurant industry, starting from the ground up. My unwavering determination and relentless work ethic propelled me into management, where I honed my skills in team leadership, organization, and customer service.

In 2013, I transitioned to the public sector, joining the Commonwealth of Kentucky as a program coordinator with the CWF program. With my dedication and commitment, I have risen through the ranks and today, I proudly serve as the Supervisor of the CWF program, overseeing and enhancing the lives of countless individuals through my leadership and vision.

My unique blend of sportsmanship, outdoor stewardship, and professional experience make me a valuable asset to the leadership training course. My journey exemplifies the qualities of hard work, adaptability, and a genuine love for people and the environment. As I embark on this new chapter of growth, I bring with me the wisdom and drive needed to excel in my leadership role
