About

With over nine years of experience in the construction industry, I currently serve as Vice President of Operations at Jefferson Energy, a commercial and industrial solar and electrical contractor. My focus is building scalable operational systems, developing strong leaders, and aligning people, process, and execution to support sustainable growth. I bring a hands-on background rooted in the field, paired with a strategic approach to operations—overseeing project delivery, workforce development, process improvement, and cross-department alignment. I am passionate about building teams that execute with accountability, clarity, and craftsmanship while maintaining a strong culture as the organization scales. I lead with a commitment to Jefferson Energy’s core values of Partnership, Transparency, Impact, and Grit, and I strive to reflect those values both professionally and personally. My faith plays an important role in shaping my leadership philosophy, emphasizing stewardship, humility, and responsibility. Outside of work, I enjoy time with my family, strategic board games, and getting outdoors through hiking and camping. I value connecting with leaders and professionals who care deeply about integrity, operational excellence, and building organizations that last.
