Introduction	All of my life I’ve been drawn toward work that involves children; from being a PE teacher right out of college to working in the non-profit sector for over 18 years, my passion is making sure all kids are given the opportunity to reach their fullest potential. I thrive on the challenge of rebuilding the infrastructure of a non-profit so that it can function as a viable business capable of accomplishing its mission; a mission most often involving children. The reward for me is watching a child experience and succeed at something they never felt capable of doing. For the past 8 years, I’ve had the privilege of being the CEO of KIT – what a ride it has been! From a 3 person staff with 13 local sites to a 7 person staff with 293 local sites, 10 National Affiliates and a contract with the US Navy that takes KIT worldwide; it has been such an honor to be part of this great team. Now it’s time to take KIT to another level of performance. From atop the Manchester Grant Hyatt, I’ll face my fears and rappel for the first time in my life to raise awareness for the full inclusion of children with disabilities in community programs. I’m going Over The Edge for KIT, please join me.
