“As CEO of Global Harvest Foods, my priority is driving our vision of Nurturing the wellbeing of people, animals, and their environments. In addition to that, I’m passionate about fostering a culture where all team members feel seen, valued, and appreciated across all our locations. This intention around our culture will allow all team members to bring their best selves to work, be better teammates, and maximize their contributions to the team, our organization, and their communities.”

“Having spent years in technology and retail grocery, I didn’t expect these experiences would ultimately bring me closer to nature. Being part of Global Harvest Foods shows me how it takes the diversity of our team members, combined with relentless commitment, to bring the best to our customers and their customers every day.”

“My first word was “bird” and as a child I would dress in suits to practice selling to invisible customers. In many ways, it feels like fate that I’m part of this team! My favorite bird is the Rose-breasted Grosbeak; its bright red patch is an annual sign that spring is on its way.”

“My passion has always been understanding consumers, both their rational and emotional needs, from a retailer and manufacturer perspective. With unique insights, you can build strong brands, businesses and communities. At GHF, we have the opportunity to directly connect consumers to their backyard wildlife through the sharing of food and appreciation of nature, which makes this company special.”

“My favorite bird is the Song Sparrow. They’re not the most decorative bird, but they sing beautifully. They love to interact with me by replying to the calls & songs I play for them using the Merlin Bird ID app from Cornell.”

“As a child, annual family reunions and regular camping trips were tradition, with my great grandparents acting as the glue. I now feel the responsibility and desire to do the same for my family. At GHF, we foster these nature-inspired experiences. Birds are amazing creatures, and like the Blue Jay, it is only with light that we see the vibrant blue feathers. As in life, we must remember to shine a little light to see the beauty around us.”
