I’ve always had a little bit of rebel in me.  I attempted to break rules or challenge the status quo at an early age. Along the way I learned many lessons, some the hard way. Still even today, I don’t like to hear words or phrases such as “you can’t,” “don’t” and “be cautious” to name a few.

In my professional life, I believe that challenging the status quo and being innovative has helped me, my employer and the clients we serve. I have worked in the HR-services outsourcing industry for over 15 years, and if something doesn’t make sense to me, I am the first to push back.

I have held several positions with Insperity that have provided me with opportunities to work directly with owners and employees of small-to-medium-sized businesses. There is nothing more satisfying then preventing a situation from turning into something ugly for our clients or for my company.

My HR motto is:  Think about what you say before you say it … if it does not sound right in your head … don’t say it!

I am currently the Manager of Program Marketing for BizTools, a sister partner of HRTools.com. I am also a contributor to Microsoft’s Business Exchange and blogging author of “Hiring the Best.”
