I graduated from Eastern Oregon University in 2014 and moved to Idaho in 2019, the same year I joined Gem State Staffing. I began my journey as a Staffing Coordinator, where I had the opportunity to learn and grow under Dustin’s mentorship. This led to a promotion to Assistant Manager, a role that provided valuable new challenges and professional development. As of January 2026, I am honored to step into the role of Branch Manager for our Caldwell office. I look forward to continuing our commitment to excellence in the community. Whether you are seeking employees or looking for your next career opportunity, I invite you to give us a call or visit us at the Caldwell branch. Outside of the office, I relish spending time with my wife, our two children, and our friends—especially during summer barbecues. I am also an avid sports fan, and watching soccer and football is among my favorite leisure activities.
