Coaching

Recognitions and Mentorship Journey

In 2023, the Minneapolis Saint Paul Business Journal honored me as CFO of the Year. Beyond my corporate endeavors, I'm recognized as a coach and mentor. With over a decade of experience coaching Varsity football, I've mentored numerous young men in their academic and athletic pursuits. Now serving as the Head Football coach at a local underrepresented high school, I have the privilege of positively impacting nearly 100 young men annually.
