Putting others first is something that I've always done. Growing up the youngest of six taught me that, along with how to negotiate and work well with with other people.

Born and raised in the City of Detroit and having the opportunity to live in a few smaller towns as well, it was easy for my family and me to fall in love with Grand Rapids and the West Michigan Area. We certainly call it home and frankly, can't see ourselves ever living anywhere else. To us, Grand Rapids is A big enough city and a small enough town. The sweet spot!
