Meet the Owner
Originally from Ann Arbor and a proud Michigan State University graduate, I’ve called the Atlanta area home for over 25 years. My career began in public accounting, where I earned my CPA certification and built a strong foundation in finance. From there, I transitioned into the private sector, taking on leadership roles with incredible organizations and navigating high-growth, dynamic environments.
But numbers and strategy have never been the full story for me. I’ve always been passionate about coaching, mentoring, and building cultures that empower people and make a lasting impact.
That passion found a new outlet when my wife and I began searching for the right learning environment for our son, Max. We wanted and found a place that nurtured both academic and social development—an inclusive space where he could thrive. Experiencing that journey ultimately led me to Ivybrook Academy as a future endeavor.
I immediately connected with Ivybrook’s mission: to provide a balanced, child-centered curriculum that celebrates every learner’s individuality. Joining this community has allowed me to blend my business experience with a cause I care deeply about—supporting families and laying the foundation for lifelong learning.
