OUR FLAGSHIP PROGRAM

CURRENT CLASS

Ten years from now, I want Knoxville to be known as a city that invests in its people, builds responsibly, and creates spaces that connect us - across neighborhoods, generations, and backgrounds.

Knoxville's best kept secret is that we don't really have to leave Knoxville to have it all! We have fantastic food, great music, fun sports and our beautiful mountains all right here.

We should maintain our focus on high-quality public education, nurture and expand our arts community, and continue to create an inviting atmosphere for entrepreneurs to thrive.

My parents attended the University of Tennessee, my brother and I are alumni and now, two of my children are attending UT. All gamedays with my family hold many wonderful memories for me, but the third Saturday in October in 2022 when we beat Bama definitely tops the list!

I'm currently reading Traction by Gino Wickman.

When I started my first company when I was 29, my father advised me to surround myself with the most talented and skilled people possible and then get out of their way.

To always trust my gut instinct and to understand that being clear is a kindness.
