Being raised in rural central Georgia by hard-working parents and a father who instilled in me a work ethic that is best summed up in the quote from Henry Ford “chop your own firewood and it will warm you twice”, I got a good start in life. Both of my parents were civil servants, yet I knew at a young age that I wanted more. After a few early jobs in information systems, I went back for my MBA and learned about business management. That put me on a trajectory to develop my financial and leadership skills. Today as an agile and entrepreneurial C-level executive I drive top and bottom lines to new levels. I am quick to assimilate and impact, having built a healthcare company from the ground up to millions of dollars and led an aftermarket parts supplier to record growth.
