Raised in North Yorkshire, England through most of my childhood. Eventually, my family moved to Alice Springs, Australia, where I completed my high school education.

In Belgium I began my college career taking classes at the University of Maryland Global Campus. Shortly thereafter I transferred to Oklahoma State University where I earned my Bachelor's degree in Business Marketing.

After earning my degree, I began my career with the Army Air Force Exchange Service, where I had the distinguished opportunity to deploy to Jordan, Iraq, and Kuwait, on three occasions, to serve the men and women of the United States military and our NATO allies.

Throughout my life and career, living and working abroad, I developed a broad perspective and a deep appreciation for different cultures and lifestyles. These experiences have shaped my worldview and given me a unique perspective that I bring to everything I do.
