How do your colleagues describe you?
“He loves supporting coastal entrepreneurs as much as he loves watching the Kansas Jayhawks.”
Why do you do what you do?
“I’m a part of the SBDC family because I discovered the value of our services as a client, in the crucible that was the Great Recession. Our coastal business benefited greatly from the SBDC and I am honored to be able to pay it forward. Also, the benefits run both ways; there’s an undeniable charge you get by working with passionate entrepreneurs and risk-takers. Like many in the Oregon SBDC Network, I feed on that energy.”
