Ascend is a tight-knit group that demonstrates excellent teamwork and delivers best-in-class material. Ascend prioritizes understanding the owner's goals, which enables us to build relationships rooted in trust and show them the tremendous opportunities that are attainable with our support.

While I enjoy the opportunity to accumulate knowledge across a variety of industries and understand how each business operates, my passion is learning the stories about why each owner started their business. I aim to develop genuine, trusting relationships that demonstrate how I can help them achieve the best outcomes for their company and the people involved.

“Luck is what happens when preparedness meets opportunity.” - Seneca

I believe you can create your own luck by putting yourself in the right position —working hard to prepare yourself so you are ready to take action when opportunity crosses your path.
