UPBEAT, OUTGOING, UNDERSTANDING

I hope to be able to bring joy to everyone I encounter at Erin’s House as a board member. Having been involved in building The Wing and attending numerous Erin's House events, I felt inspired to join and contribute to Erin's House and further the mission to help families. My expertise in construction and facility management will allow me to support the staff and new building in many ways.

PASSIONATE, DEDICATED, EMPATHETIC

When I first moved to Fort Wayne almost two years ago, I attended an event for Erin’s House. The impact stories shared, passion demonstrated, and clear need for the organization was truly inspiring. As a parent who experienced the death of a child, I saw firsthand how this type of heartbreak can really impact a family. All of this just made me realize how much I wanted to assist this amazing organization in its mission.

Favorite Pizza: Pepperoni, Sausage, and Mushroom

Favorite Disney Movie: Remember the Titans
