I grew-up in Central Oregon before Bend became a hipster hotspot. I love making first tracks, swimming in mountain lakes, and taking a road-trip with loved ones. My heart is drawn to cities for the people though... I believe New York is the center of the universe. When I lived in Brooklyn after finishing my undergraduate work at Gonzaga, I spent every Saturday exploring an unknown corner of an unknown bourough. I love learning people's stories; over coffee, chai tea or cocktails. Building businesses is my passion because I celebrate excellance wherever I find it and enjoy helping people I work with build their vision into a reality.
