Born and raised in Big Sky Country. Career includes radio and television in the midwest and east coast. I try to lead by example. I tend to be goal oriented with an eye on the future. I enjoy gourmet cooking, fishing, and thrive on challenging opportunities both in and outside of the business. While some might consider me a risk taker, I prefer to think of myself as a level headed, clear thinking individual with compassion yet stern principles.
