Prior Experience

I'm currently am an Assistant Scoutmaster for the BSA in the Bay Lakes Council, and work as a parent volunteer for Howard-Suamico StormBreakers Swim Team, and Brown County Clay Crushers, a youth shooting team affiliated with the Scholastic Clay Target Program.

Why Mentor?

I would like to begin to mentor pre-professionals along their educational and early career paths. As a late-mid career leader, my experience and perspective working across multiple public companies can bring valuable guidance to them both for what to pursue and what to give potential additional consideration to before taking action.
