EXPERTISE: Mergers & Acquisitions

  • Favorite thing about my job: Listening to the stories of business owners and leaders. The entrepreneurial journey is always unique and learning how businesses have grown, evolved and overcome challenges along the way is fascinating.
  • What is the best dish you can cook: I make steak au poivre on occasion. More often than not that occasion is when I’m home alone for the evening, so feedback on the meal is rare.
  • Favorite vacation you’ve taken: My delayed honeymoon to Australia and New Zealand. It’s a long way to go but worth it if you have the time.
  • What would your last meal be: A Thanksgiving style meal – turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing, mashed potatoes, etc. Perhaps it’s nostalgia but I look forward to it every year.
  • Favorite workout or sport to play: I love to ski. I try to get to Colorado twice a year, once in the winter and once in the spring. Life can get in the way of those plans but I’m always optimistic about next year.
