About Me

The best thing about Ward and Smith is… The people. Everyone here is caring and supportive of one another. I appreciate being surrounded by others who are so willing to work together to meet client needs.

One surprising thing about me is… I grew up on a family farm, and this gave me a first-hand perspective on the importance of hard work.  I am still developing my green thumb, however.
