After graduating college, I began working for my grandmother at the trucking company my grandparents founded in 1969. After my grandparent’s sold the business, I began taking on new roles and more responsibility within the company, which is when I began learning more fully about the family business.

When my dad was sick with terminal lung cancer, he encouraged me to work hard and ‘take the bull by the horns. A few months after my father passed away, I was promoted to CFO, one of my proudest moments. It was a huge accomplishment and a way to honor my dad and my grandparents, and an awesome way to serve my family and our industry.
