Company: Research & Development Director at PepsiCo
What makes you feel connected to Susan G. Komen and our mission to end breast cancer? My wife is a breast cancer survivor.
What makes you VIPink? My wife was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2019 and she’s recently celebrated 5 years cancer free! But I know that is often not the case with so many others. I have a dear friend who still continues to fight breast cancer for over 15 years! There are too many others I’ve known as friends, relatives or co-workers who have had breast cancer come into their life. One would be my sister-in-law who passed at 37 from it. I hope the funds Komen raises help pave the way for a cure, so my daughter’s generation will be one where breast cancer no longer exists.
What will be your competitive edge against your fellow ambassadors? Over the last 33 years working at PepsiCo, I have built so many relationships, both professional and personal. As an Aggie, I also have that fantastic network.
Give us one fun fact about you. I raise black angus cows.
