I’m the Director of Business Development at Orikan, where I work with cities and campuses to modernize their parking operations through smart, connected technology.

Before joining Orikan, I spent nearly two decades leading business development across the parking, transportation, and healthcare industries. During that time, I helped grow a small, lesser-known company into a recognized market leader, building partnerships with municipal operators, OEMs, and healthcare networks across the country and globally. My career has always centered on growth through collaboration, innovation, and strong relationships.

FPTA has been a defining part of that journey since 2008. It’s where I first learned, networked, and built the relationships that shaped my path in this industry. The people I met through this association and the knowledge I gained from it gave me the foundation to grow, and I’ve carried that gratitude with me ever since.

As a former FPTA Director at Large (2020–2023), I had the opportunity to work alongside many of you to strengthen sponsorship programs, expand member engagement, and help keep our association strong and forward-thinking. FPTA continues to set the standard for professional collaboration, mentorship, and innovation in our field.
