Causes I’m most passionate about: education availability and causes focused on supporting veterans and their families.

My fundraising story: My experience primarily focuses on the finance and analysis side of the business where I have worked for over a decade.

Unusual talent: I typically use the keyboard to navigate my computer instead of the mouse.
