Professional “aha” moment
“I have always felt the pressure of being second-generation for our company, and the fear of ‘filling the shoes’ of my dad. One day I had a conversation with a very successful business owner who helped me realize it’s not about ‘filling the shoes’; it’s about finding the right path for our business. That gave me a tremendous amount of confidence. Security and technology are always changing and evolving, and I enjoy learning about what will impact my industry and customers next.”

Professional inspiration
“To provide a positive impact in my home state and to keep Arkansans safe.”

Career dream as a child
“I always knew I would work in a business environment, but wasn’t sure what my role would be. I just hoped to be important enough to have a flip phone like all the important people did in movies.”
