I love being able to help businesses succeed. When a business does well it changes their lives of the business owners family and provides stable jobs for the employees and that is what excites me everyday.
Tell us about your most embarrassing Chamber moment.
I have never really had an embarrassing moment. There have been small things like a typo here or there but nothing that really sticks out.
Which Chamber Executive has had the biggest impact on your career and how?
Willo Kelly has influenced me the most. She was the Currituck Chamber President about 5 years before me, but she is the one I call to get advice. She has a sharp mind and understands people very well.
What is your Chamber's signature event? Tell us about how it is run and what time of year it is held...
Our signature event is the Spring Social. We hold it in April each year at Sanctuary Vineyards and we partner with Meals on Wheels and the Corolla Wild Horse Fund, and it serves as a great event for all three organizations.
What is your favorite Carolina destination outside of the one you represent and why?
Since we are at the beach I really enjoy it when I get a more urban experience so my favorite place to visit is Raleigh.
What is your favorite hobby?
I have recently started sailing a lot more, and I am really enjoying that.
When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
I didn't really have a dream job as a kid, but I always wanted to be able to help people. I think chamber work helps the entire community.
