What opportunities do you see for your business here in the next several years?
There is tremendous opportunity in Southern Arizona as demand for advanced broadband, mobile connectivity, cloud solutions, and AI-driven tools continue to accelerate. Connectivity has become far more than an operational requirement; it’s now a strategic differentiator. Organizations that fully embrace emerging technologies will be better positioned to enhance efficiency, empower their teams, and deliver exceptional customer experiences. We also recognize that no two businesses are the same. More companies are seeking customized technology solutions that meet the specific needs of their industry. By offering flexible, scalable options, we help business owners reduce operational complexity so they can focus on what matters most—providing outstanding products, services, and value to their community.
What issues keep you up at night?
I’ve been working on prioritizing my sleep health, so I try not to let too many things keep me up at night. But like many parents, I do think about my college age kids—and whether they, and other young adults, will see Tucson and Southern Arizona as a place where they can build meaningful careers after graduation. Our region has so much potential, yet continued job growth is essential to remain competitive. Ensuring that Tucson attracts and retains strong, forward-looking businesses is critical if we want to keep the best and brightest here. Creating an environment where graduates feel confident, they can find opportunities, grow professionally, and build a future is something that stays on my mind, because it’s ultimately tied to the long-term vitality of our community.
How can The Chamber help you going forward?
The Chamber continues to play an important role as an advocate for the business community, and that support will remain valuable going forward. A strong, practical voice that can help advance thoughtful policy and promote economic strategies that benefit the region contributes to a healthier business environment overall. As local issues grow more complex and the public conversation becomes noisier, the Chamber’s ability to provide balance and keep discussions focused on long term community priorities is especially helpful. Its work bringing stakeholders together and highlighting the needs of local employers supports steady, sustainable growth—creating an environment where businesses, and the broader Tucson community, can move forward with confidence.
