I’m a Minnesota native who attended Drake University and fell in love with Des Moines. After Drake, I married my best friend and we’ve spent the last 12 years turning our “needs work” house into a functional home for our dog (and eventually our kids). I’m a huge nerd who loves both spreadsheets and Star Wars (along with most other geek stuff out there – check out my Instagram for some crazy stuff!).

My passion for spaceships and hobbits is matched only by my obsession with wanting to know “why?” It drives my love of digital media and integrated marketing and I’m always looking to crack the code on why people do what they do. I’ve been in love with advertising since my first college course and am genuinely excited to see how much the industry has evolved over the last decade.

When I’m not geeking out over the latest consumer insights or the next Marvel movie, I’m taking my family to see all the cool local events in Des Moines and/or enjoying some of the best bike trails in the Midwest. If you see us out and about, don’t be shy – we’d love to chat!
