In the time that I’ve been at ABS, I’ve done pretty much everything and that experience has created a great perspective for me to operate with today.

Compare me to a sea captain.
As captain of the ship, I am fully confident in my crew’s ability to navigate even the diciest waters.
I feel so fortunate to have the life that I do. I love my job on many levels: it gives me a challenging daily focus, provides me with social interaction, and feeds my family. I was raised in California and graduated from UCLA.
When I am not working, I like to exercise and have run over 35,000 miles in my lifetime. I also enjoy traveling. My favorite destination is anything with a sandy beach or Las Vegas during the first weekend of the basketball tournament. I am an avid college basketball fan. Since I wasn’t raised here in Louisville, I can root for Louisville, Kentucky, or Indiana – but my favorite is the Cardinals.
ABS Start Date: 2006
Other Experience, Expertise & Interests:
Customer service background in various industries. Tech experience built by climbing the ranks of ABS. Loves to play golf and enjoys cooking.
