We believe humanity thrives when individuals make the most of all they've been given by God. I'm here to help you do just that.
I received my Bachelor of Arts Degree from Augustana College in Rock Island, IL in 1996. I also acquired my Master of Science Degree from Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, IL in 1998. I am a member of the Waterman Lions Club since 2008.
