In 1995, I received a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration degree from Iowa State University with a major in Transportation and Logistics. Prior to graduation I spent 6 months with a company as a transportation coordinator to learn the basics of the domestic truckload and less than truckload industry. After graduation, I continued on as Logistics Coordinator for a global leader in the food and feed additives industry where I spent 2 1/2 years immersed in the domestic and international freight community.

In May 1997, I took a position with Manning’s Truck Brokerage as a freight coordinator. I have been here at MTB since then and being exposed to both the shipper and carrier side of the desk has helped me understand what each side of the party is looking for in the transportation sector. I feel these experiences have made me aware of what a logistics company should be and here at MTB we do everything we can to meet our customers' and carriers' expectations and beyond.
