What is your history with Rodem?
I came on board in 2013 after spending 10 years working for a law firm in downtown Cincinnati as an IT Manager. Prior to that I worked in the IT field for different organizations and also had my own business for about 15 years. This experience was very enlightening and helped build my perspective and business knowledge.
What is the coolest thing on your desk?
My bottle of sand from Hawaii. I’ve always wanted to go, but have never been. However, I have a piece of the island here with me at all times.
Do you have a personal philosophy that drives you?
Everyone should strive to take themselves out of their comfort zone and continue to learn and improve. The minute you stop expanding your mind or your body is when things start to deteriorate.
What's one place you've always wanted to visit, what would you do there?
I would love to go to Hawaii someday and just be in the moment.
If your life was a movie, who would play you and why?
Dwayne The Rock Johnson, because it’s my movie and I said so!
