Less I was born in IA. I lived in a few different states prior to starting first grade here in MN. My dad was an Iowan farmer’s kid who grew up to be a teacher and a patent attorney. My mom was a teacher with many years spent as the CEO of various Chamber of Commerce’s. I graduated early from Eden Prairie High School to attend Normandale College, where I earned an AA. From there I went to Augsburg College and received my BA in Business Administration. At that point I co owned and worked at a deli in Eden Prairie. While I was working at the deli, My Cheese Shop, I started going to school for my MBA from the University of St Thomas. I went to school one or two nights a week and did homework on the weekend. I received my MBA with a finance influence the day after my oldest son turned 1 years old. I have spent most of my career in finance and accounting in the construction industry, both in the commercial and residential realm. I fell into accounting early in my working life and have loved it every day since. I look forward to having a positive impact on ABcom LLC, our vendors, employees, customers and the world around us. “When you love what you do, you never work a day in your life” – Mark Twain
