Board Member | Shareholder | Facilitator | Salon Consultant

The key to growing a salon lies in taking things one step at a time, and that's why I'm such a big fan of the Summit Salon Associate Program. Working with this program has given me the tools and resources to help my service providers succeed. By helping each team member reach their full potential, our salon environment is both successful and fulfilling for everyone involved.

I started in the industry as a stylist in 1992 and have since become a multiple salon owner and owner of a Summit Salon Academy in Anderson, Indiana.

As a Summit facilitator and trainer, I focus on providing practical guidance and leadership to salon owners and service providers. Over the years, I have enjoyed working with numerous salon companies and helping them succeed by sharing my entrepreneurial expertise. I firmly believe that with the right strategy and approach, any salon company can thrive and reach its full potential. Whether you are just starting or looking to take your business to the next level, I am here to support you every step of the way.

Living on a farm allows me to love all of the animals. Whenever I hear of a dog in need of rescuing, my heart just can't resist trying to help. I am also a mean tambourine soloist and an enthusiast of both horses and donkeys. My donkey, Tito, is a world-famous Instagram influencer @therealdonkeytito
