I am a successful leader who makes myself available to others.  My main passions involve utilizing my experience to drive process improvement, solve problems, and support those around me.  A strong desire to learn from every situation, (including my mistakes) has given me the technical expertise which I have honed over the years.  While I am viewed as a subject matter expert among my peers and help solve complex problems, I strive for simplification. 

I have built a successful career around mentoring, coaching, consulting, troubleshooting, problem solving, and providing exceptional solutions. 

I develop lasting partnerships by seeking to understand, recommending appropriate resources and technology, and helping lead sustainable success.  I am transparent, straightforward, and yet tactful in my communication. I believe in being respecting everyone from the janitor to the CEO.  

I am an entrepreneur at heart who thrives in an environment where I am empowered to think like an owner and given the freedom to use my skills to better the business.  My fascination with asking basic questions enables me to recommend the best solutions, and streamline the most efficient and effective processes. 

While I can work independently, my philosophy is that teamwork is the foundation of any successful business.  I strongly believe that everyone should intentionally surround themselves with the proper people and be open to new ideas / ways of thinking.  Only then will achieve excellence.

Last night was one for the books.

3 hours of driving.
4 hours of Skillet + Jeremy Camp.
6 hours of sleep.

The math checks out…
Because it added up to an amazing night with my daughter! 

World-class artists on stage.
Once-in-a-lifetime moments in the crowd.
And memories I’ll carry a whole lot longer than the ringing in my ears this morning! 😂

Sometimes the best ROI isn’t on a spreadsheet.  It’s in the time you invest in the people who matter most.

P.S. I also learned you can feel bass in your WHOLE body…not just your chest.  😅🎸

I am a professional with 20 years of experience in the food industry.  I have held key leadership roles in sanitation and food safety in various forms - starting my career at privately held companies, prior to joining Kraft.  

In 2011, I joined Commercial Food Sanitation (an Intralox company) where I led for the Fruit, Veg, and Food Team within N. America, in addition to supporting strategic global accounts.  After 10 years as a consultant, I embarked on my current journey with PURE Bioscience in order to bring disruptive solutions to the industry, while utilizing my past experiences to enhance my customers food safety and sanitation programs and practices.  

My main passions revolve around process improvement, problem solving, and supporting my customers for a win-win outcome.

Friday before the turkey hits…

Some folks have already checked out, treating next week like a full holiday week instead of a day or two.
Others plan to hit it hard Monday-Wednesday because it’s quiet.

Here is what I’m telling my team:
• Be ruthless about what needs to get done.
• Clear the mental clutter (there’ll be plenty of that with your food coma in a few days).
• Show up next week as a human being and actually be present.

Deals, dashboards, and deadlines will still be here after Thanksgiving.

Your kids, spouse, friends, and family need you too.

What’s your game plan for balancing both?
