Why is being part of the Mason Deerfield Chamber important to you/your organization?

Like the amethyst, businesses and organizations have many facets. Which facet is your strength and why?

If your company culture, or personal persona, had to be summed up in five words or less, reflective of a
gemstone, what would they be?

Mason is my home. My mother moved our family here almost forty years ago in search of a fresh start. That decision changed the trajectory of my life in many ways, introduced me to a new peer group, and provided me with both personal and professional opportunities that otherwise would not have existed. Being a part of the Mason Deerfield Chamber is my way of saying thank you to a community that has given me so much.

I believe my strength is problem solving. In school I always enjoyed math and as I have gotten older, I have learned the value of applying the same strategic principle to evaluating a situation from multiple angles, exploring different solutions, and ultimately making a calculated decision. This approach helps within both my business and my personal life.
