Born in Montana, I have proudly called Central Oregon home for over 25 years, where I’ve built a life rooted in community and connection. I am a homeowner and deeply invested in this region. As a licensed pilot and aircraft owner, I have a strong background in aviation, having worked as an aircraft mechanic specializing in avionics upgrades and electrical system enhancements. In addition to my aviation background, I hold a degree in forestry, which aligns with my passion for conservation.
I’ve dedicated countless hours volunteering across Central Oregon, partnering with organizations like local watersheds, ODFW, the Forest Service, Parks and Recreation, and BLM to preserve and protect the natural beauty of this region. My relationships are built on genuine connections, and I care deeply about the communities I’ve been fortunate to engage with over the years.
Integrity is my guiding principle, and optimism is my natural outlook. I love bringing laughter to every conversation and strive to leave every interaction with a smile—and maybe even a hug. I am committed to fostering meaningful connections and contributing to the vibrant heart of Central Oregon by living it, flying it, and protecting it.
