My clients benefit from my experience as both a banker and as a business owner. My finance background includes managing an SBA Microloan Program, a decade of commercial lending, as well as financial product development for the small business market. My entrepreneurial experience runs the gamut from packaging loans for pizza and beer money in college, to building a greeting card company, to now consulting with both banks and entrepreneurs. My skills include financial analysis, business operations, process improvement, business coaching, and classroom facilitation. I'm a Kansas City area native who holds a B.B.A. in Entrepreneurship from Baylor University. When I'm not working with business owners, I enjoy kayaking, reading, and snacks.My true specialty is getting things done while having a good time! I'm also great at:Public speaking, Adult professional training, Peer group facilitation, Relationship selling, Joint calling, Conventional and SBA lending, Microlending, Cash flow management, Competitive analysis, and Business planning, to name a few.
