Summary

I thrive on teams that hate to lose but are not afraid to do so, are passionate about respectfully challenging each other, and that are dedicated to the pursuit of 1% better each day. My focus aims at providing innovative solutions that optimize the value of the team and effect meaningful transformations in financial outcomes, performance metrics, and social reputation.


My "why" is providing a great life for our evolving family and the pursuit of creating something better than when I found it.
