I started my career as a federal civil servant soil conservationist, working 17 years with farmers and landowners to help them manage natural resources and prevent soil erosion. This role taught me valuable people, agronomic, and engineering skills.

In the following 17 years, I transitioned to helping USDA develop information systems, software, and websites for our agencies. This new path further enhanced my people skills and technical knowledge.

Upon retiring, I had the opportunity to work with local non-profit organizations and government offices, where I found myself once again building websites and staying current with technology. My greatest asset comes from years working with people with different thinking styles and interests. I often see what others miss.

I enjoy wood carving and tending to my tree farm in my free time.
