I was born and raised in Northern Nevada and headed to North Dakota for college.   I competed on both a football and a track scholarship, earning myself a bachelor’s degree in accounting in the process. After 17 years in public accounting and finance, including 11 years as the CFO of Presidential Pools, I realized that my love of meeting new people outweighed my love of numbers.  I finally took the leap into designing, estimating, and selling, and never looked back.  I now thrive on the personal contact and creativity it takes to bring your vision to life.
