What is your fondest memory of living in Sonoma County?

Since I was born and raised in Sonoma County I have many fond memories. A few that stick out though are annual events such as the Wings Over Wine Country Air Show, Tour of California bike race, and the Kenwood 4th of July Pillow fights.

Describe what you experience as the greatest treasure of Sonoma County.

I believe the greatest treasure of Sonoma County is the surrounding scenery. The color of the mountains as the seasons change along with the coastal views makes this area truly amazing.

What for you defines 'quality of life'?

"Quality of Life" in my opinion, means that I'm capable of balancing all of life's challenges and being able to remain happy at the end of the day.  Living in a place such as Sonoma County and having my family so close makes for an excellent "QOL". Also, I'm recently engaged to an amazing fiancé, so life is great!

What gets you really excited about your business?

I get excited when I can build business relationships that are financially beneficial for each party involved. Also, educating merchants about credit card fees and rates is very rewarding.  Most merchants don't know that we actually offer many services such as gift cards, Telecheck, cash infusions, etc.

Thinking about your business, what keeps you up at night?

Knowing the endless possibilities and relationships that can made within Sonoma County.

If you could have one wish come true for Sonoma County, what would it be?

I wish for once it won't rain when the Tour Of California comes to town.

What is your favorite quote or motto?

When life gives you lemons, find someone whose life gave them vodka and have a party!

What brought you to Sonoma County?

I'm a native of Sonoma County.
