My involvement with the NTCA has led me to greater knowledge and understanding of integral components of our industry. It has given me a first-hand view of the leadership that facilitates that as well as tremendous friendships through the industry networking that is the backbone of our association.

“I am truly honored to be a part of the leadership team and look forward to assisting in the guidance of our association for the benefit of all members.”
