My family…
has always been a supportive force in my life. I’m so thankful for all that they have done for me.
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be…

mechanical engineer like my Dad.
I’m inspired by…
the all the challenges of the world.
The one person who motivates me is…

If I could change anything in the world, it would be…
how we treat our planet. It would be magnificent to leave our world better than we found it.
The perfect day would be…
backpacking in the wilderness enjoying the peace and solitude of nature.
My first job was…
working at the driving range at a local golf course. I was 13 and couldn’t drive the cool golf carts.
My favorite escape…
heading to Colorado in the summer to enjoy the cooler weather!
My life…
is never dull and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
I’m currently working on…
growing my business and finding ways to have more time off.
Always…
buy organic and local whenever possible and know your farmer.
Never…
take what you have for granted.
Favorite Quote…

to create a sustainable employee owned business.
My Pet Peeve(s)…
the fact that GMO’s (genetically modified organisms) are allowed in our food system and that they don’t have to be labeled. I don’t enjoy being a human guinea pig.
