I graduated from the University of Wisconsin Stout in Nutrition and Dietetics. Have worked in both Long Term Care and Hospital foodservice operations prior to entering the sales side of the foodservice business. My first position was with SYSCO Minnesota as their first healthcare sales specialist. I then moved into representing a few healthcare related food products. In 1995, I opened Excel Foodservice Marketing and picked up Dinex as one of our first line extensions. Our goal was to service the healthcare industry. In 2008, I joined forces with Scotlyn Sales which became The Yes Group.
