What do you love most about living and working in Huntsville?

As a Huntsville native, I love how much the city has grown and developed over my lifetime, but it still maintains the “small town” feel. I love that I can walk around downtown most any day and expect to see a friend or colleague and still see the benefits from all of the new businesses and industries calling Huntsville home.

How do you like to spend your time outside of work?

Outside of work, I spend most of my time in our garden. There are few things more satisfying than putting in hard work all year round to see the fruits of your labor come springtime.

Do you have any hidden talents?

I don’t know how much of a talent it is, but I taught myself copperplate calligraphy and really enjoy doing wedding calligraphy!

Who has been the biggest influence on your career, and what valuable lesson did they teach you?

David Mathis. It’s popular to talk about servant leadership, but he has taught me what that really looks like in practice. The most valuable lesson I have learned during my time working with him is the importance of prayerfully considering my decisions and then standing up for what I believe to be right.

Where is your favorite place to relax in Huntsville?

Angel’s Island Coffee!
