How does your business or organization contribute to the Loudoun County community?

I help raise organizations profiles by representing their brand when they cannot be in the room.

What is one memorable connection, moment, or experience you have had through the Loudoun Chamber?

Meeting a new colleague who has become one of my best friends, a friend who you can bounce ideas off, share stories and laughter, and feel a deep connection with.

What advice would you give to someone looking to intentionally grow their professional network in Loudoun County?

Get involved in the cohorts that make the most sense. Make connections before trying to sell your services.

What Loudoun Chamber event or program do you never miss, and why does it stand out to you?

I love the Chamber Business @ Breakfast. The energy in the room is phenomenal.

There are times it can be difficult but if you put the needs of others before getting your company out there, the business will come to you.

What is one fun, unexpected, or little-known fact about you that most people at the Chamber may not know?

I drank out of the Stanley Cup when the NY Rangers won in 1994.
