🚦 I started my career with a small non-profit CDFI that focuses on helping small businesses grow and become bankable in Indiana. I was given the opportunity to manage marketing efforts for the organization and have been in marketing ever since.💸 I've developed a passion for founders, startups, and scaleups and have been fortunate to hold a few different positions now in this realm. I loved working in the CDFI Industry which is fascinating and impactful beyond public knowledge. Most people have never heard of a CDFI before but I promise it is worthwhile to learn which ones are active and serving in your city, state, and region and think about how you or your organization may be able to partner with them. https://ofn.org/cdfi-locator🎲 When I'm not working I'm likely hanging out with my wife, our 2 sons, and our Golden Retriever. I enjoy playing games with friends, golfing, backpacking, building things, and I know far too much about Lord of the Rings.🟧 I'm a proud Anderson University Raven with a BA in Marketing where I was selected as the top marketing student for my class and also earned a complementary major in Information Systems.
