A business is nothing without the people. No matter how great an idea, product or service, it all starts with the people behind the curtain. Work hard to genuinely take care of your people first. Lead with empathy and humanity always. Value your people, and they will value you—and, by extension, your clients and customers—right back.

Q: What's your favorite musician or band? Where's your favorite place to jam out to them?
A: Lainey Wilson, Cody Johnson, Shania Twain, and 90s Country will always be playing by the pool, on the lake, or at the beach, but you’ll find me sequencing my yoga classes to Glass Animals, Half Alive, and Paramore.

Q: How do you get inspired? Is there a place you go, a person you speak with, or an activity you do?
A: I get inspired in various ways for different outcomes. Often, I talk to my sisters or closest friends, sometimes it’s taking a scenic drive, reading a book or watching a movie based on true life. A good workout always inspires me too.

Q: What hobbies or interests do you have?
A: I love sports, comic book characters and movies, occasionally you might even find me catching a off the wall anime series, they tend to have really good story lines. Concerts & Festivals were a big deal in my younger years, but now I find myself looking for a place to sit down. In my opinion, there is nothing better than finding some really great music to vibe to.
