I grew up in rural Indiana, where I learned the values of hard work, perseverance, and generosity. Mentors encouraged me to ask questions and experiment; Mom pointed me toward pharmaceutical manufacturing. I’ve made a career out of breaking complex projects, concepts and challenges down into manageable, digestible, solvable bites. I believe anyone can learn anything with a little elbow grease and patience.
Away from work, my high school sweetheart and I have 2 extraordinary kiddos, I’m a bibliophile, a Tetris lover and a distance runner. I like to spend time in my community; volunteering at the schools, supporting local food banks and exploring our fabulous rails to trail system on foot or bike. My favorite day of the week is Monday and everyone should read “Great Expectations” by Charles Dickens at least once.
