About Me

Entrepreneur. Speaker. Leader. Traveler. Mom.

First things first – I have two amazing and musically talented young boys, Cedar and River, and we live just north of the Twin Cities area in Minnesota. Since 2005, I’ve been the owner of Iceberg Web Design, and grew the business from the ground up – one customer at a time. Today my professional focus is on leadership and business growth. I’m proud to say that I’ve built an amazing team that shares my core values, and takes phenomenal care of our customers.

I’m a long time vegan, and I love to travel. I take my kids with whenever possible, and also bring them on solo trips to a place of their choice annually. My kids attend the Montessori school in Anoka, MN, and I’m an active member on the school board. 

Professional Work & Hobbies

My primary mission with Iceberg is to create a company where people love to come to work – and today I can confidently say that I’ve achieved that goal. Moving forward, I’m excited to continue cultivating a great culture and working environment, and we have some pretty lofty growth goals.

This didn’t come easy, though. For years I was stuck behind a business running my life. Today, the business is able to function without me – and I love sharing my experiences and helping other agencies reach that level.

Board Member

I have been an active member of the Montessori Renaissance Academy fiduciary board since the school transitioned to a non-profit organization in 2017. Currently, I’m serving as the Secretary and sit on the Executive Committee. I was also elected to the Board of Directors for the Anoka Area Chamber of Commerce, and enjoyed serving three years in that position.

River

Mom

I have two bright, musical, rambunctious boys – Cedar (11) and River (9). Cedar is an incredibly talented pianist, and takes music theory and jazz lessons at MacPhail Center for Music in Minneapolis. River is a budding guitar player, taking lessons at Inspire Academy of Music in Andover, MN.

Cedar loves to perform, and while you won’t see River performing much in public, they know all of the words to Hamilton and have put on quite the presentations at home. They are in 4th and 6th grades this year at Montessori Renaissance Academy in Anoka, and they most definitely keep my life interesting and entertaining!

Grand Canyon

Traveler

Travel is one of my largest passions, and I hope to pass that passion down to my children. I love traveling both for business and personal reasons – and often times find a reason to combine those two together. Recently, I’ve been enjoying destination running, and have participated in multiple Run Disney events, as well as a half marathon in Moab, Utah.

Lemon Candle

Chandler

Once per year, I make highly scented palm wax candles for sale at the Eveland Family Farm in Andover, Minnesota. 

In the early 2000s, I started making candles, soap, lotions, and a variety of B&B items. I sold candles a few years later at my uncle’s pumpkin farm, and they were a huge hit. I continue to make candles annually for sale at the farm – check them out when they are open to the public in October each year!
