Born and raised in the heart of Wisconsin, my initial path led me ​to a career in physiotherapy, and for seven years I dedicated myself to helping individuals regain ​their physical well-being, but I felt something bigger was calling to me.

My passion for sustainability sprouted from the fertile soil of my ​Wisconsin roots, and as I observed the delicate balance of nature around ​me, I felt an undeniable calling to protect it. I embarked on a new path - one that would allow me to ​create a profound impact on a global scale.

In pursuit of my newfound passion, I transitioned from the world of ​physiotherapy to local government, where I ​learned the intricacies of policy-making and the importance of fostering ​sustainability practices within communities.

As I delved deeper into the world of sustainability, my vision ​expanded beyond my local surroundings, and I yearned to be at the ​forefront of the global movement to combat climate change and promote ​sustainable living. I then embarked ​on a life-changing journey, relocating to the Netherlands to found The ​Waste Not Spot, a bridge connecting businesses, not-for-profits and ​governments to sustainable strategies that transcend borders.
