The wheels in my mind are always turning, and so Ideabuds began in 2009 as a way for me to jot down my ideas.

I have ideas about everything from joint ventures for local businesses to methods for increasing the recycling participation in our community.  My overarching goal is to be a force of positive influence by delivering the most beneficial information to others as I can. I am passionate about teaching and want to empower those around me.  I strive to connect those people who are like-minded in the belief that anything is possible and that together we can make big things happen.

After placing top 10 in the nation at selling Cutco, I recruited and trained 93 college students to follow in my footsteps, and together we achieved over $100,000 in sales in 4 months.

I wanted to talk about and teach something more than just knives, and so I decided to build on my Economics degree from the University of Michigan and become a Financial Advisor with Daniel B. Liehr, MS, MBA, CFP, ChFC, CRPC, CLU.  Dan has 14 years experience and is also the President of Mensa in Kalamazoo.

In 2011, as an extracurricular activity, I founded Obstacle Running, where I teach overcoming mental and physical adversity through boxing, calisthenics, and running difficult terrain.

Please take a quick minute to send me an email and say hi.  I would love to hear about your goals and any common interests we may have.
