About

Former Junior College walk-on turned scholarship Utah State Athlete. I am a multifaceted individual who is on a never-ending pursuit of knowledge. My academic career has culminated in three separate degrees, the highest of which being an MBA from the prestigious Huntsman School of Business. I have had the privilege of competing in 5 different Mountain West Championship events, in 2 different sports. I was a part of the team that won the 2021 Mountain West Championship in football and I have placed top ten in two separate championships for track and field. Once in Shoput and once in Javelin throw, having placed in scoring position in 2024 for Javelin. I now oversee all roasting and distribution operations for Caffe Ibis Coffee Roasting Company. We are trailblazers in the world of triple certified specialty coffee and have gained prestigious recognition in organic, fair trade and bird friendly coffee. We are located in the heart of Northern Utah's Cache Valley. The world exists to be explored and I intend to do so.
