About
I began my first career as an Air Force officer inspired by childhood love of aviation. After many years of flying to destinations around the world I transitioned to my second career in accounting and financial management. The opportunity to move into the entrepreneurial world allowed me to combine my operational skills and financial experience to help launch three new businesses in the past ten years.
