Tell us about your work experience prior to KEC.

I started my working life as a farm hand, fixing fences, driving trucks, bailing hay, and planting trees. This is where I learned the value of a hard day’s work. Shortly after, I found my way into the restaurant industry, working as a waiter and busser, and I found immense joy in serving others. The inspiration to help others led to some time working as a youth counselor in a wilderness environment. Here too, I found a wonderful sense of purpose. As life changed, I found myself continuing a childhood curiosity about technology, which turned into a career.
