I’m a nonprofit executive, community leader, and advocate for education and workforce development. Originally from Amarillo, Texas, I moved to the Dallas–Fort Worth area for college and never left. My family and I have called Benbrook home since 2009.
As the Co-Founder, President, and CEO of Opportunity Resource Services (ORS), I’ve spent more than a decade building and leading an organization dedicated to breaking generational poverty through education, career opportunities, and economic mobility. What began as a small nonprofit has grown into a multimillion-dollar organization serving thousands of Texans annually.
My professional experience includes organizational strategy, financial management, federal grant administration, public policy, and building partnerships across education, business, and government. I’m particularly passionate about developing emerging leaders, strengthening organizations, and finding creative solutions to complex challenges. I enjoy turning ideas into action and helping people and organizations reach their potential.
Beyond my executive role, I previously served on the Benbrook City Council, gaining valuable experience in municipal governance, economic development, public policy, and community leadership. I’m also involved with the Texas Business Leadership Council and the Benbrook Chamber of Commerce, where I stay engaged in conversations about economic growth, education, and the future of Texas.
My leadership philosophy is grounded in integrity, transparency, accountability, and a willingness to challenge the status quo. I believe effective leadership requires listening to different perspectives, making difficult decisions when necessary, and empowering talented people to do great work. I’m naturally curious, enjoy exploring new ideas, and believe there’s always room to improve, regardless of how successful an organization may be.
Above all, I’m motivated by opportunities to make a meaningful impact, build strong teams, and leave organizations and communities better than I found them.
