Being Brave: The Story Behind SteelMine Intelligence
Faith • Advocacy • Expertise • Integrity
My passion is simple: to use what I know to help others feel safe, heard, and seen.
This isn't just a tagline—it's the heartbeat behind everything I do. From the moment I answered my first 911 call, to investigating complex fraud schemes, to advocating for children in foster care, I've learned one unshakeable truth: behind every case number, every transaction, every file is a human story that deserves to be honored.
SteelMine Intelligence was born from a conviction that expertise and empathy aren't opposites—they're partners. That the most effective solutions come from systems that protect both justice and dignity. That authentic leadership is rooted in service, courage, and the willingness to speak up for those without a voice.
Foundation: Faith & Calling
I approach my work with the understanding that I'm called to something greater than myself. My faith isn't separate from my profession—it is the foundation. It compels me to lead with heart, serve with humility, and pursue excellence in everything I do.
My Experience: Building Expertise Through Service
My professional journey has taken me through diverse environments that all share one thing: they involve the human experience at its most critical moments.
911 Emergency Response: Learning to stay calm in chaos, to listen deeply, and to respond with precision when seconds matter.
Fraud & Abuse Investigation: Developing the analytical skills to uncover deception while never losing sight of the real people affected by these crimes.
Foster Care Advocacy: Serving as a Foster Care Review Board Member in Arizona, participating in the foster care case review process, I witness firsthand how consistency, dedication, and attention to detail can change a child's life.
Church Leadership: Deepening my conviction that true leadership is about creating welcoming spaces and building trust, I am a proud member of Generation Church in Mesa, Arizona where I am honored to lead teams across our four campuses.
Each of these experiences has shaped my approach: structure with empathy, logic with love, accountability with compassion.
My Values & Approach
People Over Process: Systems exist to serve people—not the other way around. I never forget that behind every analysis is a human story.
Excellence as Standard: Mediocrity isn't an option when safety and justice are on the line. Every engagement receives my full expertise and attention.
Courage to Speak Truth: Sometimes the right thing isn't the comfortable thing. I'm committed to speaking up for those who can't speak for themselves.
Bridge-Building Between Justice & Accountability: These aren't competing values—they're complementary. The best outcomes happen when both are honored.
Rooted in Humility: My volunteer work keeps me grounded, reminding me that leadership isn't about titles but about trust and safety.
