Nice to meet you!

Before we meet, let me tell you a little about myself.

I was co-founder of the first 100% online school to be approved and accredited in the State of Missouri (2001). During this time I recognized that higher education was overlooking a key demographic of non-college bound skills and trade learners and in 2016, Valor Manufacturing Training was born.

I hold a Bachelors in Management Information Systems and a Masters in Business Administration. I was appointed to the Missouri Proprietary School Advisory Committee in 2017 and was elected to the St. Joseph, Missouri School Board of Directors in April 2018.

Away from Valor, I also enjoy seeing the world and traveling as much as possible and have been a hobby pilot for 10 years. But, my #1 favorite thing to do is spend time with my young son (and likely future pilot), Ari. I stay involved in our community through social service and non-profit work. And, I'm also known to enjoy the occasional cigar!
