Born and raised just outside of Athens, Georgia.
Throughout my career I’ve worked in a wide variety of roles and industries, ranging anywhere from higher education and managing the business operations of multiple high-growth start-ups to overseeing the marketing and strategy for clients within Travel & Tourism, Food & Bev, Economic Development, Real Estate, Retail, K-12 Education, and the Outdoor Lifestyle and Recreation industry.
I’ve also gained an extensive amount of experience managing the marketing and strategy of numerous nonprofit groups and organizations, and even served six years on the board (two as President) of the Travelers Rest Farmers Market, which is the largest nonprofit run farmers market in the state of South Carolina with 70+ weekly vendors and a variety of community focused events and educational programs.
Call it being a “jack-of-all-trades” or just a generalist, but I think variety is the spice of life and I enjoy being able utilize the experience, knowledge, and skill sets I’ve garnered in one area to uniquely view, approach, and apply them in another.
When I’m not perched behind a computer or working away on a project, you can typically find me in the gym or somewhere outdoors… most likely on a bike, a mountain, or a nearby trail here in Greenville, South Carolina.
