Where do you live? 
Platte City, Missouri

Where is your hometown?
Dearborn, Missouri, and Platte City, Missouri

What was your career journey, to where you are now?
When I was in college, I wanted to work for the Federal Bureau of Prisons. That didn’t end up happening, so I did a little bit of everything until I finally went to work as a federal employee in 2011. 

What other federal government or military experience have you had and for how long?
I worked at the IRS for one full tax season and part of a second; then moved to the VA where I have been since 2012.

What is your alma mater, degree or special training?
I received my B.A. in psychology and criminal justice and a Master of Public Administration from Park University - Parkville, Missouri.

What is your biggest professional or personal accomplishment?
My biggest personal accomplishment is being independent.

How do you recharge your batteries outside of work?
I watch movies and listen to music. When I can, I like to go to movies and concerts and out to eat. I have a close group of friends online that live across the U.S. and Canada that I frequently chat with.

Tell us a little about yourself. Children? Pets? Married? Hobbies?
I enjoy home renovations, electronic tinkering, 3D printing, and automotive fabrication. My home life is somewhat chaotic as I have four kids from ages 2 to 10, a Great Dane, and two husky puppies.
