From the dusty arenas and barns of horse ranches, horse shows, and cattle ranches to the cutting-edge world of AI, my journey has been one of transformation and innovation. After serving in the military, I ventured into retail, real estate, and hospitality, eventually finding my passion in recruiting. As I retire from recruiting, I am excited to launch AI-PoweredSmartSites, aiming to empower businesses with an affordable AI Chatbot, called VenBot, and small businesses, individuals, entrepreneurs, and artists with simple and affordable website solutions, with AI-Powered SmartSites.

“Embrace change and lead with purpose.”
