What do you enjoy about serving as an Advisor to the Board of Directors at Nitsch?
“I appreciate the opportunity to work with a group of wonderful, talented, and passionate professionals, who have a thirst for knowledge and such a strong commitment to the success and well-being of both their employees and their clients. It is truly inspiring!”
What are you passionate about outside of work?
“I love getting together with my ever-growing family, whether at the beach, in the mountains, or simply in the back yard. I couldn’t be more proud of each of them! When not with my family, you can find me on the beaches of Cape Cod, paddling a kayak, fishing, or growing tomatoes and other vegetables.”
