I am an accountant and business professional who previously worked as a General Manager for a Chrysler car dealership, Business Consultant for the University of Wyoming, and an Accounting Supervisor at Silver Star Communications. I come from Wyoming and enjoy the outdoors . . . specifically fishing, hiking motor-biking and following the interest of my family.
