The funeral profession has always been my calling and my home. My career began in Wenatchee, WA, at the age of 16, working at a local funeral home. Upon graduating from Mortuary College in 1997, I relocated to Spokane, WA, to continue my service as a licensed Funeral Director and Cemetery professional. I currently hold funeral director licenses in both Washington and Idaho, as well as Life Insurance Producer licenses in six western states.
