I was raised in Johns Creek, GA where I attended Chattahoochee High School. I completed my college degree in Management Information Systems at the University of Georgia. While in Athens, I participated in varsity football, the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity, and played bass in a touring band. I recently earned my MBA at the Goizueta Business School (Emory University) with concentrations in Marketing, Customer Relationship Management, Product & Brand Management, Analytics and Consumer Insights, Management Consulting, and Corporate Strategy.

I am happily married to someone that supports my ever-growing list of hobbies, tolerates my bass playing, helps with my instructional grilling videos on YouTube, and enjoys Georgia Saturdays… all while we both hold day jobs and raise our beautiful daughter and new-born son.
