I also attribute my own success to the incredible “fiber family” I have had the privilege of working with—an industry community where collective efforts enable meaningful impact. I would be committed to helping the FBA not only lead in broadband deployment but also set the standard for supporting our people, encouraging collaboration, and strengthening connections across members and industry leaders.

I am fully committed to dedicating the time and energy necessary to actively contribute throughout the three-year term. I will prioritize attending board meetings, participating in committee work, and engaging in discussions and initiatives that support the Association’s mission. Beyond the scheduled commitments, I intend to be an active ambassador—bringing energy, creativity, and collaboration to help move the industry forward. I see this role as an opportunity to not only contribute my skills and ideas, but also to engage meaningfully with fellow members to achieve our shared goals.

Over the years, I’ve been consistently impressed by the FBA team—their professionalism, kindness, and ability to execute with energy and integrity—and I would be honored to help highlight their efforts and contribute to the Association’s success.  

As a board member, I want to help foster stronger collaboration among current members while also encouraging new talent to enter the workforce. Just as important, I want to ensure that emerging voices know their perspectives are welcomed and valued. Creating a supportive environment where fresh ideas can thrive will be critical to the continued growth of our industry, and I am committed to helping the FBA lead the way in making that a reality.
