FAMILY: My parents live in Greenfield where I grew up, and I also have three younger brothers. I love being close in proximity and relationship with my family. We always look for a reason to get together. I also have a dog named Buccs, who is 3 years old and full of energy.
FUN: I enjoy being active. I try to start most days with a 5 a.m. workout which helps keep me happy. I also am a huge coffee nerd and have every coffee brewing appearance known to man. Having downtime to go on a hike or watch football is fun for me.
I empower learners to achieve their highest potential by: Giving them opportunities to lead. In those opportunities, there will come success that we will celebrate and failure that will lead to growth on how to approach the situation next time.
