Growth you can measure
From January 2020 to December 2022, I led WEOKIE's lending portfolio from $770 million to over $1.2 billion. That's more than 55% growth in three years, right through a pandemic.
Chief Growth Officer · WEOKIE Federal Credit Union
I built a multimillion-dollar agency from zero. I grew a credit union's loan portfolio more than 55% in three years. Then I won a national snowboarding title in my forties.
What I do
I'm the Chief Growth Officer at WEOKIE Federal Credit Union. My job is to grow the place, and I take that personally. Lately that also means leading our push into AI.
From January 2020 to December 2022, I led WEOKIE's lending portfolio from $770 million to over $1.2 billion. That's more than 55% growth in three years, right through a pandemic.
I'm leading WEOKIE's move from AI-assisted to AI-native lending. The goal: faster answers for members, smarter decisions on risk, and a team that knows how to use the tools instead of fearing them.
Hitting the number is half the job. The other half is building a team that can hit it without me in the room.
The short version
I started out as a pro snowboarder. When that chapter closed, I took the same drive and built a marketing agency in Norman from nothing. We racked up Gold Stevies and Small Business of the Year awards, and I eventually sold it.
Then I brought that founder mindset to WEOKIE, where growth isn't a slide in a deck. It's members getting a car, a house, a fresh start.
And in 2025, while doing all of that, I went back and won the national title. Not because I had to. Because I'm still competing.
