I make sure the numbers add up, the projects make sense, and the business stays as strong as the systems we build.

I’ve spent the past four years in the solar industry, combining my background in finance and economics with a passion for renewable energy. Before joining Centauri, I earned dual degrees in Business and Economics from Bethel University, focusing on finance, marketing, and strategic analysis. My experience in solar sales, energy consulting, and grant writing gave me a front-row seat to how financial strategy and clean energy innovation intersect.

As Centauri’s Director of Finance, I handle everything tied to the numbers, from forecasting and project costing to cash flow and performance. My goal is to make sure every project is built on a solid financial foundation and that customers understand the real value of their investment.

I grew up on a multigeneration crop farm in Wisconsin, where I learned early on that success comes from hard work, resourcefulness, and doing things the right way. That mindset is what drew me to Centauri, a company that values quality over shortcuts and operates with integrity at every level.

When I’m not buried in spreadsheets, you’ll probably find me on the golf course, chasing the perfect swing and a little peace of mind.

My Most Memorable Project

Helping deliver the Park Tool installation has been one of the highlights of my time at Centauri. It was a landmark commercial project that showed what can happen when great design, teamwork, and financial strategy come together. Seeing the numbers align with the environmental impact proved that solar is not just a smart choice for sustainability, it is also a strong business decision that pays off at scale.

Outside of work, I like to spend time outdoors, whether that’s golfing, catching up with family, or helping out on the farm back in Wisconsin. It’s a good balance that keeps me grounded and reminds me why the work we do matters.
