My passion is bringing people together so they can grow their business, expand their network and share their passion with others....in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. It is my goal to see the West St. Louis County Chamber of Commerce support the businesses in our area and be a driving force that will continue to make our community thrive.

As president/CEO of the Chamber it is an honor to work with so many talented entrepreneurs, business owners, school districts, and companies in the region....I absolutely love what I do!

I believe ~ - Attitude is everything! - Nothing great can be accomplished without passion (G.W.F. Hegel) - The function of leadership is to produce more leaders (Ralph Nader) - The way of the world is meeting people through other people (R. Kerrigan) - people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will NEVER FORGET how you made them feel (Maya Angelou)
