Education

About

Achievements

I helped build and wire electricity for a 5 bedroom lodge at my ranch before going onto working for myself producing handmade duck calls. I noticed that the hunting market was contracting, so I decided to go back to school to change careers.

I left the South to experience San Francisco, with it's culture being a polar opposite of home, and earn my MBA in marketing. I then went to Boston for a second masters degree for International Marketing.

During my time at school, I had the opportunity to compete against nearly 200 other students and win two consecutive (2017 & 2018) corporate business challenges for Siemens and Google. I feel that my eclectic background allowed me the help guide my teams towards solutions by thinking outside of the box.
