I grew up on a cattle farm in Northwest Missouri and moved to Kansas City in 2009. I graduated college from the University of Central Missouri. I was raised to have a strong work ethic, help others out, and be honest. I am a sports junkie and bobblehead collector who likes to set professional and personal goals. I am married with 3 dogs.
I'm passionate about connecting good people with great opportunities! Based in the Kansas City metro, my goal is to keep the hiring process as stress-free and straightforward as possible. We work with top companies across the Midwest, and I'm committed to providing a smooth, transparent experience for both candidates and clients.
