I am a dedicated professional who balances the fast-paced world of North American business funding with the grounded, hard-working lifestyle of a modern farmer. My journey has taken me from the baseball diamonds of my youth to the coffee fields of Maui, and eventually to my current role managing both financial accounts and a bustling homestead. Whether I am navigating complex compliance standards or tending to my livestock, I pride myself on maintaining a high level of integrity, a relentless work ethic, and a genuine passion for the outdoors.

My primary expertise lies in the North American business funding sector, where I ensure every transaction is handled with precision, timeliness, and strict regulatory compliance. As a seasoned account manager, I specialize in partner relations, serving as the bridge between organizations to resolve issues and strengthen collaborations. I excel at driving mutual growth by combining analytical accuracy with the soft skills necessary to maintain high-performing professional partnerships.
My career is defined by a “ground-up” approach to success. Before entering the financial sector, I spent over five years as a coffee farm manager in Maui, Hawaii. I began this chapter picking coffee for extra cash while camping on the beach, eventually earning a leadership role after being mentored in the intricate arts of harvesting and processing. Today, I apply that same dedication to my professional life in business funding, as well as to my personal life, where I manage a diverse farm filled with lambs, cows, horses, ducks, and chickens.
My education has been shaped by unique, hands-on mentorship and specialized training. I gained my foundational knowledge in agricultural management and production through intensive, one-on-one mentorship with a local expert in Hawaii. This experience provided me with a masterclass in delicate processing techniques and large-scale farm operations, forming the basis for the leadership and management skills I utilize today in the corporate world.
When I am not in the office or on the farm, I am a dedicated musician. My 1997 Taylor Z10 “dream guitar” is never far from reach, and I often spend my evenings playing my favorite anthem, “Long Haired Redneck.” My background is as eclectic as my music taste; I am a former professional square dancer and was a competitive pitcher and first baseman until age 16. An avid outdoorsman, I enjoy hunting and fishing, and I maintain a gluten-free lifestyle to stay energized for all my adventures.
