I am the CFO of my family business, Lumber One Home Center, where I began after graduating from college in 2011. We are a retail building material supplier with a focus on commercial and residential contractor sales. I have gained invaluable experience and adaptability in a business that is growing and changing rapidly.
Working for my family business was a natural fit for me. As an only child, it has allowed me to learn and grow with a business that will be in my family hopefully for many years to come.

Definitely my parents. My dad has built our business into what it is today on sheer determination and hard work. I admire his humility and honesty. My mom has a God-given gift of words. She has given me an enormous amount of life-shaping advice. They are the ultimate pair. I would not be who I am today without the strong foundation that they gave me to build on.
