1. What’s your day job?
Sr Mgr, Compensation & Analytics at Spirit Airlines

2. What’s one thing you’ve learned professionally from attending the NFCBA meetings that has changed your perspective, or that you’ve incorporated into your company processes?
The meetings have been invaluable.  I have seen a number of new perspectives on how to approach issues that we commonly (and sometimes rarely) encounter.  Guests have brought new possibilities for benefit and compensation approaches and news on how regulatory affairs may or may not impact us.

3. How did you hear about NFCBA and what attracted you to join NFCBA?
I was invited to a meeting by Elliot some time ago and discovered the group.  I haven’t looked back since then.

4. What do you love most about your industry and NFCBA?
HR, as a whole, is about people.  With a focus on compensation and benefits, we are involved in some of the best and worst seasons of our employees.  Having a place/community to come together and support each other while sharing innovation and potential solutions is incalculably beneficial.

5. What non-profits do you support locally or are passionate about?
This one is admittedly a bit selfish for me.  My daughter is a BMX racer, and our local BMX tracks see the majority of my effort.  It is a wonderful sport and very different from the typical “team” sports that we drag our kids to.

6. What’s something about you that not very many people know?
Some know, but many don’t know that I am an author outside of work.  I have three books published in the LITRPG genre and will complete my current series next year.
