What do you enjoy most about Greater Hartford?

I will let you know once I get to explore a bit; however, I welcome all recommendations.

What quote best represents your personal philosophy?

There is a "yes" in everything, we just have to find it.

I believe that if there are tasks that are seemingly insurmountable, perhaps we need to ask a different question to get to the solution we are aim to achieve.

Are you involved in any volunteer activites?

While in Louisville Metro I served on the boards of United Way, YouthLink Southern Indiana, Donors Forum of Kentuckiana, Indiana Philanthropy Alliance, One Southern Indiana, and a few others. I am looking forward to engaging with many new partners in the region.
