I grew up in Westmoreland, Kansas a small town just outside of Manhattan.  My father was the town doctor and in 1985 my family relocated to California for a different opportunity.  When I graduated high school I moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado to work at my grandfather’s mechanical heating and plumbing company while going to school.  While there I learned a valuable trade that has assisted me in performing my own numerous bathroom and home remodels. 

​

I left Colorado in 1999 and formed a band with my two brothers.  I played bass guitar and managed and marketed the band for five years touring California and beyond. While in the band I worked in computer sales at a local Rocklin company, Olympus Systems. It was also at this time that I started my company Reliant Legal Services, a business that focused on the service of legal papers.

​

All of these experiences provided me with a cross-section of skills and management vision for taking responsibility for the tasks to be addressed in order to reach desired goals.

​

In 2005 I was hired at Washington Mutual into their P.A.C.E. program (Premier, Achievement, Career, Employee).  This was a 15-month training program that took me through every role the bank offered on a path to management. WaMu was acquired in 2008 by JPMorgan Chase during the financial crisis; at that time, I was managing a large branch in Midtown Sacramento.  Over the course of my career with Chase I managed five branches of different sizes and complexity and was recognized as a multi-year national achiever.
