What’s your professional background? How did you get here?

I have nearly 25 years in C-Suite Management and operational experience, including sitting on the Board of Directors for a large multi-state Real Estate holding/development/construction company.  I have been instrumental in the planning and implementation of BC activities for many years and wanted to solidify and enhance that experience through education.

What does DRI certification mean to your life?

The DRI certification validates my experience, skills and knowledge and will allow me to perform with more understanding of BCDR, greater efficiency in planning and implementation and has given me a much broader base of knowledge to work with.

What made you interested in business continuity?

It was a task that fell to me due to my organizational skills and desire to be part of the process.
