Bio
I have been immersed in the trucking and transportation industry since 2008. Starting out as a dispatcher, I gained valuable firsthand experience in the daily operations and challenges faced by drivers and logistics professionals. Over the years, I expanded my expertise by working as a broker and delving into business development roles. My journey led me to serve as the VP of Business Development at a large transportation platform, where I honed my skills in strategic growth and industry innovation.
Today, I own Insite Logistics, a freight brokerage and a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB). Through Insite Logistics, I am committed to providing reliable and efficient transportation solutions while supporting fellow veterans in the industry. Drawing on my 17 years of experience, I am now launching TruckWize—a platform designed to help truckers navigate the complexities of the industry, offering them the tools and support they need to succeed. Passionate about driving positive change, I am dedicated to empowering others and advancing the transportation industry.
