I am a millennial who has dabbled in venture capital, private equity, product management, startups, entrepreneurship, fin-tech, digital medicine, and angel investing. I've helped all five siblings with their resume at some point (it's a full time job). 

I have also  worked at 3 different VC/PE-backed startups that all exited (acquired or went public). I once ran a Corporate Home-Tel hustle with 10 Airbnbs in Chicago.  My career has has nothing to do with my undergraduate degree of Marketing and Chinese. 

I'm in love with the Colorado outdoors; so outside of work  you'll see me involved in 10 sports leagues/year.  I'm trying to learn salsa, climbing and mountain biking this year. I feel closest to God when I'm with people near nature. My challenge for myself this year to do weekly adoration.

I enjoy traveling with great people and helping them use their super strength to solve tough problems. I enjoy dreaming up new ventures and talking about redemptive entrepreneurship - how young people can renew culture and bless people through their work.

Fun-fact:I did the real polar bear plunge in Antarctica (and survived!)

I am ride or die. And don't have as many interesting feet stories as Joey.

I'm a data-driven jack of all trades. My experience spans Supply Chain at Apple, Program Management at Accenture, and Manufacturing at Shell. I thrive in breaking up large, cumbersome problems into manageable, achievable pieces. I moonlight as a career coach and resume master for those within & outside of corporate facing roles. Outside of work, I am an avid skier - I spend my winter weekends skiing across the Rockies, and my summer weekends water skiing in Michigan. I'm passionate about serving others in a career-focused sense - I love helping charter' career goals & ambitions, and creating a path forward to execute on these goals. I look forward to helping you set your path forward!

Professional Experience: I am a registered nurse at Children's Hospital Colorado. I thrive in working at the bedside with patients and families. I spent 3 years working in the emergency department and recently transitioned to perioperative nursing and support patients before and after surgery. I am a professional slushy maker as nailing the post operative slushy is key to success in my current role. 

Career Highlights: Nursing is my second career choice although Children's Hospital Colorado has always been my career home. My former job was working as a Child Life Specialist; utilizing procedural coaching and preparation to help children cope with the unexpected nature of hospitalization. 

Outside of Work: I am a proud Colorado native and have been blessed to grow up 20 minutes west of Denver. In the summers, I love spending time on the water kayaking, paddleboarding, and swimming at my neighborhood pool. In the winters you can find me skiing with friends.

Passionate About: Spending time with my incredible family who all live within 10 miles of each other and being the best auntie I can be! I enjoy dancing and can always be found moving and grooving to the beat. I find myself closest to God through music and have a strong affinity for praise and worship.  

Fun-Fact:  I have been a seat filler for A-List events and spontaneously book last minute flights for the thrill of the experience.

Professional Experience: I have five years of both B2B and B2C marketing experience; and I freelance as a graphic designer. Prior to changing my career, I have 10 years of customer service experience. I’ve always enjoyed helping people. 

Career Highlights: I transitioned into marketing after working in customer service. Outside of Work: I'm a Colorado native, but love to travel! I spend a lot of my free time with friends and family. I also enjoy running and working out - I am signed up for 2 half marathons in the fall. I am hoping to run in the Nun Run again.

Passionate About:  I’m passionate about helping businesses with great design and marketing work. I also love to support small Catholic businesses - Support Local! 

Fun-fact: I lived in London for a year and half (my favorite city besides Denver). I also bake homemade cheesecake or creme brulee.

Professional Experience: I am the associate director of the Colorado Catholic Conference, which is the united voice of the four Catholic bishops of Colorado in public policy. In my role, I advocate at the state capitol for bills that affect the Catholic Church or are informed by Catholic social teaching. I am blessed to have the opportunity in my role to bring the Catholic voice to the public sphere.

Career Highlights: I received my Master of Public Affairs from Indiana University in 2020. Other past experiences include opinion columnist, Senate intern, legislative aide and campaign field organizer. I also have a part-time job as a youth softball and baseball umpire and enjoy passing the joy of the game on to kids.

Outside of Work: Nothing makes me happier than staying active, whether that's playing softball, swimming laps, or training for a half marathon. I also love being an uncle and spending time with my nieces and nephew.

Passionate About: Nebraska football, Indiana basketball, Rockies baseball, Catholic liturgical music, and the policy process.

Fun-Fact: I once started a Twitter war with the state of Iowa over the quality of their corn.

Most people would call me a generalist. I have many passions and hold strongly to the 80-20 principle: 80% of the output comes from 20% of the input (so I focus on the 20% where I can have the most impact). For me, that focus led to developing a general skill set in many areas and stacking those skills.

By training, I have a Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering and a Master's in Engineering Management. I practiced as an engineer for many years, doing embedded systems design at one of the national laboratories, later designing substation communications for an electric utility, then eventually designing the automation systems for most of the large train yards in North America.

Over time, my career shifted from design engineer to project management to people management then eventually to director of several programs. That continued career trajectory led me to establish Keene Business Group, a consortium of several individual companies including real estate investing, fitness, consulting, and philosophy—and still expanding.

I have also been involved in many non-profits and ministries over the years including leading an active chapter of Engineers Without Borders and a growing a vibrant Catholic ministry for young adults in Philadelphia. After my conversion to Catholicism, I felt (and continue to feel!) a strong call to help rebuild the Church in the ways that I am able. I live every day with that purpose in mind. 

When the days wind down or the weekend comes, you can usually find me building something, reading a book, or adventuring in the great outdoors. I love pretty much everything outdoors—rock climbing, mountaineering, running, fishing, hunting, or vagabonding to some distant place.

My dream is to  learn to sail one day.
