I was born & raised in Randle, WA. I attended White Pass Jr/Sr High School where I excelled with year-round athletic competition that ranged from football, baseball, basketball, track as well as wrestling. It was through a youth filled with sports and recreational activities that I discovered my passion towards helping others in need as well as mentoring younger individuals around me. Whether it was assisting in the development of a new local Food Bank, or volunteering countless hours at a nearby daycare, I was always involved. I grew up within a very small, yet comforting environment where everyone knew everyone and every event that would take place. It was from these small town roots that I was able to develop very strong interpersonal skills. I graduated high school in 2004 and pursued a life long goal by attended Pacific Lutheran University. I played one year of football in college before deciding to focus on work and my education. I graduated in fall of 2008 with a BA in Business Administration and a concentration in Marketing. I started working with Boys & Girls Club in the fall of 2007 at the Al Davies Branch. I felt right at home from the first day I started with the organization, and couldn’t wait to seize the moment when the opportunity to work full time became available. I plan to learn, grow and improve through the Gonyea Branch for as long as possible.
