From years of church involvement to volunteering at homeless shelters and pitching in for neighborhood service projects, I’ve found that true fulfillment comes from lifting those around me.

Serving others has never been a checkbox for me—it’s been a way to build community, strengthen faith, and stay grounded in what matters most.
With more than 20 years in the mining industry, I’ve built a leadership style centered on collaboration, trust, and bringing people together to solve complex challenges.
