I didn't start my HR career in a cozy small business. I started it at the bottom of a mining operation — managing HR for thousands of employees across multiple facilities, sitting across the table from union committees, and learning what it actually takes to lead people through hard things.

Over the past decade-plus, I've built HR systems from the ground up, navigated large-scale reorganizations, led labor relations for industrial operations, and managed workforce planning for 2,000+ employees. I've negotiated union contracts, designed next-generation training models, and led crisis response — including a compassionate reduction in force in the aftermath of a natural disaster.

I hold a Master of Human Resource Management from Georgetown University and a SHRM-SCP certification — the senior-level credential that fewer than 20% of HR professionals ever achieve. I've also served as a Lieutenant in the United States Navy Reserves, where I learned that leadership under pressure isn't a theory — it's a practice.

So why am I here, working with small businesses under 50 employees?

Because that's where the gap is. Big companies have entire HR departments. Small businesses have a business owner doing their best with a handbook from 2015 and no one to call when something goes sideways.

I built Good Day Group to change that. You deserve access to the same quality of HR thinking that Fortune 500 companies take for granted — without the cost, complexity, or overhead of a full-time hire.

Practical. Personalized. Human. Always.
