Being named an Innovator by KBDN Magazine feels especially meaningful because I genuinely love this industry.
I love the people in it. I love the conversations, the collaboration, the constant evolution, and the way this community continues to challenge what’s possible.
To me, being an innovator isn’t just about creating something new. It’s about helping move the industry forward — asking better questions, sharing ideas, opening doors, challenging old assumptions, and contributing to what comes next.
And what makes this recognition even sweeter is being named alongside so many friends, colleagues, and people I deeply respect.
That part means a lot.
This industry has given me so much, and I’m incredibly grateful to be part of shaping its future with such a talented community.
Thank you, KBDN Magazine, for the recognition — and congratulations to all of this year’s innovators. What an incredible group to be part of. ❤️
