Commerce Properties

I have worked at Commerce since 1994.  I have enjoyed helping the company grow since then.  Building a culture based on shared values has been especially rewarding.  Away from work, I enjoy spending time with family, being outside and watching all kinds of sports.  A favorite activity is sculling on the Willamette.  (Just look for the guy whose technique resembles a blender.)

I joined Commerce Properties in 2019. I enjoy working at Commerce because of the people.  This is a company where everyone brings their best, lends a helping hand when needed and is committed to growing and developing. In my free time I enjoy adventuring around the beautiful PNW with my family.  We love hiking, paddle boarding or anything on water, wine tasting and finding new beach areas. Until Blazer season- then it is serious business in our household.

I have worked for Commerce Properties since April of 2020. I am fortunate enough to work for a company where we truly live by our values and let those values guide the decisions we make. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, taking advantage of the great outdoors the Pacific Northwest has to offer and attending various sporting events. Nothing like watching it LIVE!

I’ve worked for Commerce Properties since January 2016.  I am grateful to be part of an organization that invests in their employees not only on a professional but personal level.  Outside of the office, I adore bonding with my son over our love of theme parks and other adrenaline-filled adventures.  When I’m not working or parenting, you can find me flying down the freeway on two wheels enjoying much needed throttle therapy.
