Safety engineer and self-storage operator.

I work in workplace safety, with a background in self-storage operations, built on an engineering degree from Oklahoma State and years of hands-on work.

About

From the refinery floor to the rent roll.

I grew up in Ponca City, Oklahoma and studied safety engineering at Oklahoma State University. I started my career as a safety specialist at a refinery.

From there I moved into self-storage, spending six years on acquisitions and operations and helping grow a portfolio from zero to 25 facilities.

Today I work in employee safety in healthcare, stay involved in self-storage operations, and run a liquidation reselling business on the side.
