It feels a bit unusual to write about myself in this way, but I'm genuinely honored and still processing it. On Friday, May 1, I was named Entrepreneur of the Year at the Lewisville Area Chamber of Commerce's 63rd Annual Awards Gala.
First and foremost, thank you!
I've been a member of this Chamber for eight years and have always enjoyed attending the gala. To me, it's not just a ceremony—it's a reminder of how many people work hard, build their businesses, and still find time to quietly serve and invest in their community.
Anyone who knows me will tell you that's a responsibility I don't take lightly, and being recognized for those efforts means a lot.
As I said in my acceptance speech, I should have joined the Chamber a heck of a lot sooner. People told me for years that I should join, but for one reason or another, I procrastinated. Once I did join, I felt like I had truly found my home. And there are many reasons why:
Everyone was genuinely interested in getting to know me as a person.
People wanted to see me succeed, and I wanted the same for them.
It felt like family—not just networking contacts.
I was instantly surrounded by people I could learn from.
I was immediately given opportunities to help others grow.
Relationships, relationships, relationships!
This is just a short list. I could go on and on. The bottom line, and I said this in my acceptance speech, you can go far on your own, but you can go farther with others. I have a thriving business, but more importantly, I've grown as a person and a professional.
I’ll carry this award with gratitude. More importantly, I’ll carry forward the same mindset that got me here in the first place: staying consistent, continuing to improve, building relationships, giving back, and focusing on the work that still needs to be done.
