Personal

I was born and raised in Spokane, Washington on the South Hill before going on to attend the University of Idaho on a track and field scholarship. Upon graduation, I moved to California to work in the non-profit world and never left! I love living in California because of it's access to diversity in culture, food, people, and businesses. I currently reside in View Park. My greatest joys are my five children, Reshanda, McKayla, Quentin, Tyler & Colette. Outside of work, I enjoy watching my kids play basketball, playing golf and eating with friends and colleagues.

Lending a hand in my community.

As part of Northwestern Mutual, I'm proud to help accelerate the search for better childhood cancer treatments while supporting families undergoing treatment, and survivors from late effects. Here are some of the organizations we partner with:

How Northwestern Mutual helps you live the life you want.

When people feel better about their money, good things happen—they become more confident and feel more secure. For more than 160 years, Northwestern Mutual has helped people achieve the financial flexibility they need to live more and worry less.

Being a mutual company means Northwestern Mutual reports to its clients, not Wall Street. They don't believe in chasing fads or taking undue risk for short-term gains. Instead, they take a long-term approach—both in the way we help people plan to reach their goals, and in the way they do business. This has served their clients (and mine) well through all kinds of economic ups and downs, including wars, recessions, even the recent pandemic.

It's why I'm happy to be part of a company that's in it for the long-haul and prioritizes clients over profit.
