Vocation/Avocation: I am an entrepreneur currently running a healthcare services firm that provides health monitoring to seniors and persons with disabilities (www.monitoringcare.com).

 

For fun: I love to learn and experience new things, so traveling to new places, finding interesting new events and listening to interesting people are fun for me. I also love playing and watching sports, hiking, cooking (work in progress), and playing with our dog, Bailey.

 

Your favorite spot to relax in Ohio/Kentucky: Sitting on the deck in my backyard – it’s great place to think, talk, enjoy the outdoors, or even take a nap.

 

Latest inspiration: “In theory, there is no difference between practice and theory. In practice, there is.” --Yogi Berra

 

Your perspective on SVP Cincinnati: The concept of social venture struck me from the first moment I heard about it. With my background in finance and investing, I was immediately drawn to the idea of supporting promising organizations through a rigorous process of analysis and focused resources. I think the chance to give our time and skills to these organizations is such an exciting opportunity. I’ve been lucky to meet and work with a number of talented and passionate people that are doing something to help others, and I am excited to be part of their growth and support network through SVP.
