I learned it the hard way — building, losing, rebuilding, and starting over more than once. That's why I can see what's happening in your business when you can't.


In 2005 I opened a residential and commercial cleaning company with no roadmap and no business degree.
Twelve years later I had 62 employees and sold it.
What that company taught me had nothing to do with cleaning.
It taught me how to see through chaos, build systems that actually hold, and grow something real from nothing.
That's not a skill I learned. That's who I am.
In 2020 I joined a Texas-based service company as a part-time salesperson.
Four years later I was their Managing Director.
In those four years I took the company from $500K to $15M in revenue. I built the sales team from scratch, fixed the processes that were costing them customers, and cleaned up the operations that were keeping them stuck.
The growth didn't come from luck or connections. It came from finding exactly where the dollar was dropping — and fixing it.
I poured everything into that company as if it were mine.
It wasn't.
I left with hard-won lessons and one thing I couldn't ignore — I had watched the same patterns play out over and over again in service businesses. Owners hitting the same ceilings. Dropping the same dollars. Stuck in the same places.
I knew exactly what was in the way. And I knew I could find it.
I don't see the chaos. I see through it.
I can walk into any service business — any process, any team dynamic, any customer experience — and follow the dollar from first contact to final review. I find exactly where your money is getting dropped.
I've always been able to do this. It just took building two companies, growing a third, and a few very hard lessons to understand that this is the work I'm here to do.
It's not consulting. It's not coaching. It's a diagnostic — delivered by someone who has been inside businesses like yours.
Not above them.

I live in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota — a lake town an hour from where I grew up — with my husband Justin and close to the grandkids.
I speak at builders associations and trades organizations across the region. And I walk the dollar for service industry owners who are ready to stop fixing the wrong thing.
