Great evening celebrating business excellence and community at MADE Chamber's Gems of Excellence at Manor House of Events.

Happy to have been nominated for Ambassador of the Year! Really enjoyed connecting with Chamber staff this year, welcoming new businesses to Mason, celebrating anniversaries and connecting with fellow Chamber members at gatherings to help each other grow!

Congratulations to all award winners including deserving winner Mark Andrea for this category. In good company with Rinda Dean.

Shout out to previous ambassador winner David Charpentier, friend, coach and former Army Ranger who has taught me the importance of SERVICE as well as recognizing and embracing that we are all different with unique strengths, yet connected!

Small business is the backbone of our country and it’s also hard…I’m lucky to to have strong leadership and support from my wife (in photos here) and family. I’m proud that our kids are students and athletes at Mason City Schools and look forward to more Mason Moments ahead.
