I lead strategic initiatives across a privately held family enterprise: Samtec, Inc. (operating company), BlueSky (family office), and BlueSky Foundation (philanthropy). My work centers on translating vision into execution—advancing business strategy, overseeing investments, building coalitions, and driving initiatives that create value for organizations and communities.
I serve on the University of Louisville Foundation Board, where I chair the Philanthropy Committee. This board supports the mission of the University of Louisville with top-quartile financial returns on investment.
My background spans corporate strategy, social impact, and civic engagement—an intersection where I believe the most meaningful leadership work happens. My approach is rooted in turning microsteps into momentum: identifying small, strategic actions that compound into transformational change. I’m interested in conversations about how family enterprises, public institutions, and mission-driven organizations can create sustainable value in an increasingly complex world.
