My Expertise

At Cascadia, I work with each industry group to identify and connect with family-owned business in the Pacific Northwest and beyond. I have deep connections and relationships within the business community, having spent the last 16 years of my career specifically covering the Pacific Northwest for GE Capital and then Bank of America’s middle market commercial bank.

With a career dedicated to building and maintaining relationships throughout the region, I am connected to a variety of Pacific Northwest companies that span multiple industries.
