Beginning with a small mid-western company specializing in trade shows, theme parties and parade floats, I continued to learn and grow to eventually work for industry leaders in the world of live engagements inclusive of expositions, conventions, corporate events, meetings and exhibit programs. An experienced business development and account manager professional providing a 30+ year career of collaborating, consulting and connecting with clients to help them create growth, prosperity and successful events. When I'm not working, I am an avid road bicyclist. What started as a hobby has grown into my passion. I ride in group rides with Trace Bikes on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday and ride solo the other days. Our rides average from 25 - 100 miles throughout middle Tennessee which offers some of the most beautiful roads in the country.
