I grew up in trucking and have worked across the industry, from large carriers to small family operations to starting a company with my father. My first real introduction to transportation safety came when a company I worked for received a conditional rating. I had to learn fast how to turn things around, and that experience showed me how many carriers face the same challenges.

Since then, I’ve dedicated my career to helping trucking companies, insurers, and safety tech providers improve their safety and compliance performance. There’s nothing more rewarding than watching safety scores drop and seeing companies thrive through safe, compliant operations.
