I am a professional problem solver and communications facilitator. Advocating for myself is not one of my favorite things to do, but advocating for my clients, stakeholders and opening lines of communications between differing parties in order to mitigate problems, resolve areas of concern or just utilizing the appropriate platforms to properly disseminate information to targeted audiences is.Over my professional career I have worked in marketing, mass media and public relations for over two decades. I have extensive experience working with diverse groups from Mom and Pop Shops to Fortune 500 companies in; the energy and utilities industry, natural resources, medical and pharmaceutical, telecommunications, water conservancy districts, water storage projects, ranching, real estate and nonprofits in Colorado and Utah. I have worked effectively in government relations and public affairs in the areas of federal lands issues, legislative affairs, political consulting and run successful campaigns. I have given testimony at state and US Congressional hearings on energy related issues, served as the keynote speaker for the 53rd Annual National Mountain Plains Management Conference, a Lions International Melvin Jones Fellow and the current Chairman of the Board for Club 20.I love spending time with my family and friends, volunteering with several different organizations and causes throughout my community and continually working to be a better me than I was the day before.I believe in bold leadership, teamwork, implementing goals and planning for success.
