Q. What is your professional background? Where do (did) you work, and what is/was your role there?

A.  I’ve worked in retail management for Hy-Vee 15 years, and I am currently senior procurement buyer for Associated Wholesale Grocers buying for Memphis, Nashville, and Gulf Coast.

Q.  How it began: How long have you been off-roading? What drew you to the sport?

A.  This is my 6th year with the club and 6th year off roading.  Joined after purchasing my first jeep, went to a few events, and the amount of helpful people and knowledge gained made me a member for life.

Q.  Passions and Interests: What are your passions and interests related to the club’s activities? What motivated you to join the board?

A.  I enjoy all things outdoors: hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, skiing, off-roading, and kayaking to name a few.

Q.  Vision: What is your vision for the club’s future? How do you hope to contribute to its growth and success during your tenure on the board?

A.  I hope to see this club provide an avenue for others to learn about off roading, use their vehicle to enable other outdoor activities, provide like-minded people a social active club to further their interests.

Q.  Community Involvement: Are you involved in any other community organizations or initiatives that align with the club’s values?

A.  This is the only club I am active in, but I am an avid outdoorsman and active year-round in many outdoors activities.  I have 2 boys 8 and 5 that I want to encourage to learn about and be involved in these wholesome life-skill building activities.  They are involved in school and sports which also fills my time.
