My mom has had multiple falls, and while she doesn't have memory impairment, sometimes she can't tell me what happened because it was all so sudden, so disorienting, and so upsetting. Not knowing is very concerning for me, and makes it difficult to prevent the same fall from happening again. I'm proud to be working for a company that can help families understand exactly what happened--and have greater peace of mind--after a fall occurs.

Most evenings I can be found at the local CrossFit gym or experimenting in the kitchen. I have a passion for lifelong wellness that I get to exercise both at work and after hours.

What is your personal connection to SafelyYou?
I've had several family members suffer from dementia and falls that eventually precipitated their move to nursing facilities. It's very rewarding for me personally to help SafelyYou build solutions that will provide a better quality of life and care for those living with dementia.

Where can we find you when you're not working?
Very likely in my garage wrenching on a '66 Mustang or some other DIY project. When the weather is nice I'm taking our 1 1/2 your old dog to the park or on a bike ride around Chicago.

What is your personal connection to SafelyYou?
I'm personally invested in SafelyYou and passionate to help drive change because my mom was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's. During her care journey she unfortunately suffered a number of unwitnessed fall events that negatively impacted her health. I'm confident that a solution like SafelyYou would have not only improved her care but it would also have been very helpful for my siblings and I, who were doing our best to try and understand what happened and help manage her care.

Where can we find you when you're not working?
I view life is one big adventure and there is no one else that I'd rather explore it with than my family (Christi & River). Whether that is driving across the country and moving to Nashville during a pandemic, road tripping to see family in Chicago, Wisconsin, or Michigan, or simply an evening family walk to get ice cream and stop-off at the playground on the way home. You can usually find me outside exploring with the people I love.

What is your personal connection to SafelyYou?
My grandparents, who help raise me, suffered constant falls. One of those falls resulted in damaging my grandfather's brain function. I am proud to work for a company that makes an impact in the quality of life for those that need some extra care.

Where can we find you when you're not working?
You can find me spending time with my family, cooking a Peruvian meal, trying a new restaurant in town or playing with my boxer pups, Oso and Loki.
