About Me:

I am a member of the Pacific Northwest Regional VBOC team, serving as a Boots to Business Facilitator and Business Consultant. I bring more than 20 years of experience in financial planning, business consulting, and leadership, built on a 20-year career as a Supply Officer in the U.S. Navy, where I managed budgets, logistics, and contracting operations for teams as large as 300 people at sites around the world.

My background spans both military and civilian business. I started my first business when I was 13 years old. Grew up in family business including automotive repair, construction and IT services/sales. I have served as a Financial Planner with First Command Financial and US Bank. While on active duty I completed an executive fellowship at Home Depot, working directly for the senior vice president of supply chain. This diverse set of experiences give me a broad knowledge base in the business world covering multiple industries and sizes of business.

I hold an MBA from the Johnson School of Business at Cornell University and a Master of Arts in National Security and Strategic Studies from the Naval War College, along with dual bachelor’s degrees in Accounting and Business Management from Hartwick College. I look forward to helping veterans and military family members build and grow their businesses.
