Who I am

I am the President of Bottom-Line Performance.

What I bring to your Bottom Line

Well, my staff would say an insane drive, a virtual cauldron of ideas, and a desire to always push the edges of the envelope to discover how to do things better. I’m on a continual quest for THE perfect, most efficient learning solution. Our focus 15+ years ago started out as “training and instruction;” I’ve since come over from the Dark Side, and I realize it’s all about helping people learn – not just providing instruction. This mind set opens up a whole new set of possibilities for learning tools – blogs, wikis, podcasts, YouTube-style videos – that go far beyond traditional training stuff (though we do the traditional stuff, too!)

So…I’m going to bring a philosophy on learning that is honest – and research-based. I will help you figure out what WILL work, but I’ll also tell you what won’t work.

Facts About Me

• I am the human version of the Energizer Bunny. I love to run, walk, swim, bike, play games…white-water raft, hike, etc. and can’t fathom why everyone doesn’t love to exercise for multiple hours at a time.
• I grew up on a farm. My worst childhood memory is having to collect eggs from our chickens (the hayloft they lived in was the stuff of nightmares); my best childhood memory is all the fun of roaming around and playing outdoors for hours.
• Those who know me would say I am a tad bit competitive.
• I have an M.S. Ed in Instructional Systems Technology, which is nothing compared to the PhD in psychology gained from life experience with two teenagers.

How I like to Give Back

My passion and focus these days rests both locally and globally. Locally, I lead BLP’s efforts related to Dayspring Center, a homeless shelter in Indianapolis. We’ve been involved in shoe shopping, refurbishing rooms, gathering baby supplies, adopting families, taking kids to the zoo, and sponsoring fundraising events such as the Annual Putt-Putt golf outing.

On a global level, BLP is working with Family Health Ministries to rebuild a school destroyed in Fondwa, Haiti. We’re creating a “fundraising tracker” web tool that FHM can use to help kids’ groups track fundraising efforts and rebuild the school. It launches this Fall, and we will definitely show it off when it’s done.
