What is your career background? 
Most of my career background is administrative. I worked as an Admissions Assistant for a For Profit College. I was in that position for about 2 years until they moved all admissions on grounds and turned our department into Career Services. I stayed with the college as the Career Services Assistant for another year until my position was dissolved. Before working at the college I was an Office Manager for a loan company. 
 
What inspired you to work with ACP? 
What inspired me, and continues to inspire me, to work with ACP is what we do for our customers and, in turn, the patients. 

What do you do in your free time?
On Saturdays, as time allows, I hike with a group of buddies and all our dogs. We have some amazing trails here in No. Nevada!  I’m also the music director in my church – I have a worship band, arrange all our music, and play guitar/sing with a wonderful group of musicians and vocalists. They make even me sound good.  Other than that, I’m quite boring – but I love to eat and love to cook. I am very thankful for my family, good friends, a beautiful area to live in, stellar coworkers, hot showers and Sunday afternoon naps. 
 
How long have you been with ACP? 
I’ve been with ACP for 4+ years.  Time flies when you’re having fun. I love ACP and what we do.
 
What is your career background? 
In my short college career, I majored in music, theater and dance, which prepared me for… not a whole lot.  I’ve been an Exec Assistant/Facilities-Office Manager for more years than I care to admit. I started in the Fire Protection and Mechanical Engineering field, which I loved, and later moved into Healthcare, and eventually 14 years at a disease management company, Alere Medical, from startup to acquisition by a large, international company. I supported the CEO and Executive Team, interfaced with the Board of Directors, and project managed the building of Alere offices all over the country: Reno, Orange County, Denver, Columbus, Chicago, Miami. We acquired several companies and then ultimately sold Alere to Inverness Medical (who is now known as Alere).  A fun ride and once-in-a-lifetime experience!
 
What inspired you to work with ACP? 
After the Alere offices closed in Reno, I accepted an office manager position at a financial services company. They were a great group of people, but the business left me feeling uninspired. Being a (big) handful of years away from retirement, I wanted to find a job that would spark a little passion again. When I saw an ad for a support position at ACP where a friend worked, I decided to check it out. Then I met Debbie – who wouldn’t want to work for Debbie? The rest is history.

What do you do in your free time? 
I married my high school sweetheart and we have 3 beautiful daughters ages 21, 17, and 14. I love spending time with my family: going to sporting events like U of M softball (Go Blue!) and LAFC soccer (with my youngest daughter), watching movies, and just hanging out. My husband and I enjoy outdoor activities like kayaking, hiking, swimming, and relaxing.  We are thrilled about being new grandparents to our most wonderful baby, Grace!

What do you do in your free time? 
Having two young and energetic daughters doesn’t leave me with an abundance of free time, but my wife and I do love spending time with them and cheering them on in soccer, gymnastics, and school activities. I enjoy golf, hiking, spending time with family and friends, and travel. Over the winter, we traveled as a family to Thailand and we are looking forward to London and Romania this summer.
