A GLIMPSE OF MY BACKGROUND
I am an entrepreneur and business executive with over 25 years of experience across the telecommunications, IT, education, real estate, and construction industries. Since 2001, I have founded and managed multiple for-profit companies and have also been actively involved in a number of nonprofit organizations. My company serves several Fortune 500 clients and employs teams across the United States.
I first developed an interest in fencing during my college years, though I did not have the opportunity to pursue the sport at that time. Decades later, my daughter fell in love with fencing and carried that passion forward, ultimately becoming one of
the youngest fencers in history to win a World Championship. Through her journey, our entire family became deeply involved in the fencing community.
USA Fencing’s members are its foundation. I will work to serve the membership, promote growth, and improve governance. I would be honored to earn your support and your vote for the USA Fencing Board of Directors.
