Taught by mentors from some of the world’s most unlikely places, I quickly understood a great entrepreneur can come from anywhere. My passion and ability to find solutions to complex problems have allowed me to help in facilitating other entrepreneur’s dreams see fruition and now my own. My background is in business strategy, operations management and technology, largely gained from "the school of hard knocks." I have been honored to work with a variety of professionals from small boutique to large firms.One of the things I’m most proud of is the ability to understand and find purpose. Yes, “there is purpose in everything” as we all commonly hear but less common is the understanding that there is purpose in EVERYONE. I’ve chosen to find it my responsibility to not only live purposefully using my own gifts but to also help others to realize and live their own.
