Meet The Crew

From a young age, growing up in southwestern Colorado, I always had a strong entrepreneurial spirit. Whether it was catching as many flies in the house as I could (my Dad paid 1 penny per dead fly), starting an automotive detailing business at the age of 15, or working a myriad of side jobs, I never shied away from the challenges. I have now been running this company since 2016, and continue to be rewarded, and also humbled.

I get to live on a wonderful farm with 2 dogs, 3 kitties, 4 pigs, 6 goats, 2 steers, not sure how many chickens, and most importantly, my amazing wife. I love the life I live, and I love that I am able to bring my mindset and skills into the lives of so many. I’m always ready to embrace the challenges that each particular project brings, and hopefully instill some knowledge and can-do-attitudes along the way!

I grew up in a small farming/timber town outside of Seattle. I suppose you could say I had the typical Pacific Northwest youth experience. Spent lots of days hiking and exploring the woods, rivers and mountains close to home. After high school, I moved to Bellingham, WA for school and additional outdoorsy adventuring. Here I fell in love with fly fishing, backpacking and snowboarding. These passions led me to Bend after I graduated.

I’ve always enjoyed working with my hands, getting a little dirty and love it when a plan comes together. Working with Josh and Rockin’ K has allowed me to grow as a craftsman, understand how homes function (inside and outside of walls) and he’s taught me a thing or two about farming/ranching!

Growing up in South Central Montana, I always loved working with my hands, being outside and being physically active. This led me into a few different jobs, and places, ultimately into a landscape construction gig in Missoula, Montana, which was pretty rewarding in terms of personal growth and career advancement and focus. I have a great love for music and all examples of masters of their specific craft.

My fiancée and I live in Bend with our beloved cat. Coming up on a year working for Josh at Rockin’ K has been a great experience, and I look forward to more jobs, more things to learn and more opportunities to be a part of building something really cool.

I was born and raised in New Jersey, just across the river from Philadelphia. I received my undergraduate degree in Business Administration from Rutger’s University and my Master’s degree in Family Therapy from Hahnemann University.

I started my bookkeeping career working for my parents’ business and continued with it in various venues throughout my life, including keeping my own books while in private practice as a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist.

Seven years ago my husband and I retired and moved to Bend. It wasn’t long before I was looking for a “little something to do” and found myself with a part time job as bookkeeper for Rockin’ K. I’m delighted to be part of this organization.
