Starting in 1998 I started on my road to ownership, as just an hourly insider for Papa John's. My dedication and uncompromising work ethic led me to purchasing my first Papa John's in 2005 and by 2006 I had taken over all 3 of the Papa John's locations in Boise ID. By 2007 I opened 3 more Papa John's in Boise.In 2010 I had the opportunity to purchase Spokane WA and the Tri-Cities, WA Papa John's stores from bankruptcy and reintroduced Papa John's to the area. After considerable hard work my team and I were able to open another location in Richland WA. in early 2012. We had another big year in 2015 with the opening of a new Papa John's location in Pasco WA. Fast forward to 2021, I partnered with Matt Studer (Papa John's franchise owner in Florida) and we grew to 68 Papa John's locations in 8 different states across the country. Early in 2023 I decided to decrease my store footprint and focus on 22 stores in the NW. I’m now focused on growing these 22 stores to be the best stores in the Papa Johns system. I live by the mission statement of " We will build a quality team to provide a better experience so that we can build a better community! "I educate, refine and drive myself to be a better person-I am constantly learning because I never settle-I stay calm when faced with adversity-I focus on making high-quality decisions
