About

Initially captivated by math, I stumbled upon a new fascination in the unpredictability and impact of people. Further enticed by my recruiting exposure in the military, I changed my career ambitions and coursework from accounting to recruiting (HR+Marketing). This set the stage for my rewarding life long journey of helping companies find and retain their greatest asset - PEOPLE. When I am not advising someone on their next career move, you’ll likely find me with family and friends hiking, paddle boarding, boating or traveling. “Only a handful of companies understand that all successful business operations come down to three basic principles: People, Product, Profit. Without TOP people, you cannot do much with the others.” ― Malcolm Forbes
