AMBASSADOR
PROFILE
What is your job/title outside of FJI? I am the Sales Supervisor for
MercyCare Health Plans. I lead a super dedicated team in selling small/large group
plans, individual plans, and Medicare Supplement plans, as well as managing our
existing customer base.
When did you start as a Goodwill Ambassador? I started wearing the
red in December 2015.
What Ambassador leadership positions have you held? I try to
attend as many Chamber functions that my schedule permits. Things such as ribbon
cuttings, BA5’s, lunches, dinners and other networking events.
What is your favorite Forward Janesville event and why? The
Business After Five events. It gives me an opportunity to learn more about a member
business and to network with the many wonderful people in this community!
Why is being a Goodwill Ambassador important to you?
Now that I have a beautiful wife and adorable nine-month-old daughter, giving back
and helping to grow the community I live in is really important to me.
Why did you get involved? I got involved to meet and network with business
leaders in the Janesville community, promote MercyCare Health Plans and
Mercyhealth and help grow our local business community.
What or who inspired you to get involved? MercyCare Health Plans
and Mercyhealth have always been a very strong partner in economic development in
the communities it serves. They only had great things to say about Forward
Janesville and how important it is to be a part of the community you work and live in.
What have you have learned from a fellow Ambassador or
business member that impacted you, personally or
professionally? I have learned to take advantage of every networking opportunity
that you can. You never know who you will do business with in the future. Building
relationships and trust can go a long way.
What was your most interesting or hilarious Ambassador
experience? I don’t have any hilarious stories yet, but hopefully, I will have some
in the future!
What is your favorite Forward Janesville event and why?
My favorite event is the Rock Regional Business Expo every October. You get to
network with over 75 different businesses and it is an incredibly fun environment.
What advice would you give to a new Ambassador joining the
program? Get involved as much as you can. Everyone I have met has been
amazing.
Why is red your new, favorite color? :) I am a redhead and my daughter
is a redhead, so red is a great color!
Do you have a favorite quote or saying? My favorite quote of all time
was said by Jim “Jimmy V” Valvano, a former American college basketball player,
coach and broadcaster. He said, “Don’t give up, don’t ever give up!” during his
inspirational 1993 ESPY Awards speech on cancer research.
