Energetic. Dynamic. Risk Taker.

Born and raised in Wisconsin, I'm a lover of all things outdoors and all things cheese (including the Packers). I'll try anything once and love food- fine food, dive-place food, food truck food, all food.  My keen eye for detail and type-A personality are counterbalanced by my creative, unorthodox approach to life's obstacles. I'm passionate about collaboration, innovation and thinking outside-the-box which makes me an excellent marketing and biz dev leader in Silicon Valley.
