“I joined the company in November 2022. Before I was a college basketball coach, and I left the industry to pursue a better work-life balance. Being self-taught in the world of analytics I wasn’t sure if I was good enough to work at a company like Foresight Strategy. However, the team has welcomed me with open arms, saw past my skillset, and looked at my potential; coaching me with patience. Ironically, the coach is now being coached. The willingness to teach is something a lot of companies can learn from. In the basketball world, I used to say, “We don’t want the best player, we want the RIGHT player.” I’m bringing this approach to Foresight and believe this will lead to our continued success.”

Proudest accomplishment: “I’m still in very much a learning phase here at Foresight but I’ve taken a lot of pride in being useful in a couple areas. People seem to come to me when they need help with their general data pulls. I’ve become somewhat of the go-to for that as well as being the office Photoshop guy!”

Favorite thing to do in the Twin Cities: “Right now it is to walk around the lakes. Having lived in a somewhat gross place in North Dakota before this, I am happy to be around some nature again, and since I live right on the lake, I try to walk them every day.”
