I grew up in the Midwest, spending my early years in Ohio before my family traded snowy winters for the sunshine of Florida. The beaches, springs, and year-round warm weather quickly became my playground and before long, Florida felt like home.
I started my career in education as a middle school teacher, where every day was a mix of energy, laughter, and the occasional chaos that comes with working with kids. Later, I became a high school administrator and got to see the bigger picture of how to support both teachers and students. Those experiences eventually led me to start FolioBridge, a platform designed to give schools a common workspace for schools so they they can centralize resources and communication.
Outside of work, I’m a dad to three amazing daughters. I love exploring nature, playing music, and just making memories with them. I’ve hiked the John Muir Trail and walked hundreds of miles on the Appalachian Trail, both adventures that taught me a lot about perseverance and finding joy in the process. Whether I’m on a trail or at home, I’m always looking for ways to connect, grow, and enjoy the journey.
