Business experience.
Human connection.
Meaningful action.

Sales, marketing, entrepreneurship, public speaking and fieldwork have shaped how I work: listen, build trust, recognize an opportunity and follow through. I enjoy connecting people who can accomplish more together.

I’m available for conversations about business development, consultative sales, partnerships, sponsorships, fundraising, event operations and special projects.

03 / A PERSONAL MISSION

Health Before Wealth

Because Health IS Wealth. “Know Your Baseline” is the message behind my developing health and longevity mission: sharing my experience and connecting people with credible resources and qualified professionals.

A developing initiative. My role is a storyteller and connector; medical interpretation belongs to qualified clinicians.

The gift of
having a voice.

A personal reflection on gratitude, recovery and cheering for someone else’s finish line.

“GREAT JOB! INCREDIBLE!
YOU DID IT!”

I spent hours encouraging runners after they finished—clapping, taking photos, giving high-fives and celebrating what they had accomplished. Their thanks meant so much to me.

There was another journey on my mind. Two years earlier, I had feared a tumor in my throat would take my voice. In early 2025, I lost it for a few months while relearning to speak. Standing there today, able to cheer loudly, I looked toward the sky and thanked God.

They had their 26.2-mile journey. I had my own quieter journey. Being there to celebrate theirs made me grateful for both.

The outlook I bring into each day

I go to sleep and wake up smiling. I’m grateful for another day to meet people, be useful, learn and create something meaningful. My personal spiritual touchstone, 1010, reminds me to pause, give thanks, set an intention and take action.

Experience in action

Showing up for Chicago.

These are events I’ve supported as a volunteer—experiences that strengthen my commitment to people, community and reliable service.

At the Expo, I welcomed and energized volunteer groups, escorted them to assignments and introduced their coordinators. On race day, I encouraged finishers with cheers, photographs, high-fives and recognition of their achievement.

Welcomed riders to the beer tent, shared practical information and kept the post-ride atmosphere friendly and energetic. Later invited back to help with additional organizational work.

AFSP Walk

Provided directions and participant support, and offered to take family and group photos so people could preserve a meaningful day honoring loved ones.

Supported participant preparation, Village and VIP areas, start and finish operations, cleanup and crew equipment packing—helping wherever needed across long event days.
