How did you get into this line of work?

“Well, I was on the board for eight years, then was chairman of the board. I have always liked helping small businesses.”

What is the best aspect of what you do?

“Meeting the members and talking to small businesses to see what they need. We have 700 chamber members and more than 50 percent are small businesses with one to three employees.”

Do you have any initiatives planned?

“We are working to revamp the Web site and continue networking. We want to work on getting together a Facebook page and take some technology classes.”
