I have been working for as long as I can remember, beginning at my parent's grocery store in upstate New York. When I was in first grade, I was stocking groceries. By fifth grade, I was running the cash register. By 16, I was helping with the accounting, deli, butcher shop, and other grocery store duties. At the time, I hated it, but I have since realized that my background and experience are my superpowers. When I graduated high school, I did what many kids do; I went off to college. I studied fine art photography, and I loved it. The problem was that I only loved the photography part, so I promptly failed several core classes, thus losing a scholarship. This turned out to be the best thing that could have happened. I entered the school of life. I spent the next 10 years bouncing between restaurant jobs in Virginia and various fishing industry jobs in Alaska. I met people from all over the country and the world. It turns out that when you live like a hobo, bouncing from job to job, it becomes important to get along and learn to communicate well with other people. I became a student of the various types of people I met along the way. Recognizing that the hobo lifestyle didn’t include a long-term future, I joined the Navy, where I learned to embrace technology and develop my leadership skills. I spent the last half of my time in the Navy as a technical trainer. I had the honor of teaching senior naval officers, as well as junior enlisted personnel, how to use and fix some advanced computer systems. I didn’t recognize it then, but I was essentially learning to become a consultant. Leaving the Navy, I began a career in the energy marketing industry, where I have honed my leadership and management skills and presently serve as an organizational development professional.My primary focus is understanding the work environment, structures, people, processes, and systems necessary to maximize organizational effectiveness. I feel this is the perfect role that brings together many of the lessons learned throughout my journey. My mantra is "how can I help," and I try to instill this mindset in everyone with whom I work. I am presently a Doctor of Management (D.M) candidate working to understand how the social environments of hybrid work structures affect the free flow of ideas and, thus, the innovative behaviors of individuals.
