At age 17, I climbed the highest mountain in Idaho. Not metaphorically-- I literally stood on the top of Idaho. It tops anything in the Tetons, the Sawtooths, or the Bitterroots.During the hike, I thought about quitting at the point ironically called Chicken Out Ridge. Many have died from attempting to cross that point. If it weren't for a 5 foot leap of faith (and a fortunate hand-hold at the tips of my outstretched fingers), I would have too. But despite the high winds, thin air, high altitude headaches, and Chicken Out Ridge, I made it. It's just me. Once I say I'll do something, I make sure it happens.I currently double-time for Clarke Capital Partners and The Maize Inc.. Each is an entirely different line of work, but I scale mountains, metaphorically, in each of them.I'm well versed in finance, keeping company books and records, analyzing financial data, new venture funding, as well as construction management, metal fabrication technologies, managing new products, and new product design and production. I can manage people in an effort to work towards common goals. I am a motivator and excel in understanding people.If you’re interested in shooting the breeze at 13K feet or discussing the next great idea, shoot me an email.
