Personal

I am married with a 16 year old son and as a family we spend a lot of time waterskiing, wakesurfing and generally doing anything on the lake! We also spend time out in the cold riding snowmobiles, cross country skiing and snowshoeing. I am passionate about helping organizations develop the best talent to make their business successful.
