I build trust, move quickly, and solve real-world problems. I'm focused on ag & forestry supply chains in Washington—combining a commercial mindset with growing logistics and risk skills.
Sales & marketing background with a bias for action. Now applying that commercial edge to physical commodities.
I've led revenue growth, built partnerships, and solved customer problems across multiple ventures. My edge is simple: I create trust fast and keep projects moving. I'm currently targeting Washington's ag & forestry trade—where relationships, logistics, and timing matter.
