I am a born and raised West Texan! I grew up in San Angelo and graduated from Texas Tech University with a degree in Family Financial Planning in 1998. I started my career in Abilene, TX with Merrill Lynch as a licensed financial representative and eventually went into fundraising and marketing with the West Texas Rehab Center, Hendrick Medical Center and Abilene Teachers Federal Credit Union. After moving back to Lubbock in 2010, I have been involved in many facets of the fundraising community in Lubbock, most notably, helping create and establish the Team Luke Tennis Classic benefiting the Siegel family. I was in charge of the first Team Luke Tennis Classic which raised more than $120,000 for the startup of the Team Luke Foundation, currently know as Team Luke Hope for Minds.
