I have been the Vice President of Bush Brothers Provision Company for over 18 years, leading and growing this fifth-generation family business in the South Florida market and beyond. I coordinate sales representatives, manage major contracted accounts, and oversee various aspects of human resources and information technology. I am skilled in food service, business expansion, and municipal politics, and I have a strong vision for the future of the meat industry.I am also an Executive Board Member of the North American Meat Institute (NAMI), the largest meat industry trade association that represents over 1700 companies around North America. I have been serving on the board since 2015, after the merger of NAMA and AMI, where I was also a board member. I am passionate about advocating for the interests and values of the meat industry, as well as fostering collaboration and innovation among its diverse stakeholders. In 2017, I was honored to be recognized as one of the 25 Future Icons of the Meat Industry by The National Provisioner magazine.
