Since I was young I wanted to work as hard as my family did to make a difference in East Kentucky.

Born and raised in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky we didn’t have a lot growing up but my dad worked hard to provide and that left a burning passion in myself to work as hard as I could to make my community a better place, to show those outside of Appalachia what it really looks like through my lens.
I was the first in my family to go to college like many Eastern Kentuckians, where I learned the skills trade for electronics, computers and later marketing and business management so I strive to combine all those skills I’ve learned along the way into the way I do business in East Kentucky.
I am a graduate of the first class of the Patton Leadership Institute and first class of BRIGHT by Leadership Kentucky.
My work has been published in numerous travel and tourism magazines in Kentucky. I have multiple magazine covers and features in the Bi-annually published UPIKE magazine.
