I grew up in Lapeer, Michigan. I was a long-time gymnast and golfer. I was essentially raised in the gym and at my Dad’s miniature golf/driving range business.
I bring a novel perspective to problem solving supplemented by a strong background in research. Beyond my technical expertise, I use my interpersonal skills to connect with clients and support them through some of their most difficult experiences.

As part of the consulting team, I enjoy collaborating with the other consultants and providing a great experience for clients.
