Why Work With Me

I understand economic development because I’ve lived it.

And I’m passionate about the work. That’s why my approach starts with listening.

  • I know the pace of project announcements.
  • I know what site selectors care about.
  • I know how communities work together to attract investment.

I believe the best stories are discovered through conversations with the people doing the work every day.
