I started my first job at 14 years old at Romano’s in Littleton to save for my first car. What began as a part-time job quickly turned into a lifelong career in the food industry. After spending time in the ski industry and working my way from the pizza kitchen to bar manager at The Sink in Boulder, I traded the restaurant world for a day job at Sysco Foods. From there, I built my career in food sales and poultry, spending 10 years at Red Bird Farms, where I advanced to Director of Food Service Sales, followed by another 10 years at Wayne Farms helping launch one of the first raised-without-antibiotics jumbo bird programs. Most recently, I joined Pure Prairie Poultry, where I enjoyed helping build a startup alongside a talented team. I’m excited to be working for a Colorado company again as a Colorado native. 

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my high school sweetheart, who I’ve been happily married to for 23 years, and our two wonderful children. Our oldest is getting ready to attend CU Boulder, making it an exciting new chapter for our family. Whenever I can, I love escaping to our mountain home at 10,000 feet to enjoy everything Colorado has to offer.
