When I was 14 years old, we moved to Dallas from Bendigo, Victoria, Australia. I applied at a placed called Frank-N-Steins. I told them I was 16 so, I could work. Bussing tables was serious business at $2.50 an hour plus meals. What kid doesn’t like free hot dogs?! I learned to prep and cook, I liked the pressure and camaraderie. I also worked for my father (Pops) in his fabrication shop. I learned to read and scale drawings, weld, use breaks, punch presses etc. My parents LOVED food and fed EVERONE who walked through our door. Pops, he made us try things. Pickled Herring, Oysters, Sardines, Braunschweiger etc. These were the game time snacks put out with Nachos. In 1983, I went off to college to be a “Jazz Musician”. I played for whoever would pay me and I worked in kitchens all along. Local diners, hotels, country clubs and Bonanza (my Brother and Sister were managers)
Miller & Associates, November 1989, I was hired as a customer service rep and warehouse guy. They hired me because I was an AWESOME forklift driver! Restaurant experience, a small bonus. I quickly learned to do Bid Work (read and scale drawings? Thanks Pops!) we would hand draw Chef Tables and Custom Stainless and quote it, with a price book, and CALCULATOR! Eventually, I was trained for outside sales. I had technical ability and a memory for drawings. I called on Consultants in the DFW area and learned from one of the best, H. Gene Rice. Gene taught me about how and why I liked to work in some kitchens and hated others. A wrong door swing could hurt someone, I could relate. Over the years, I’ve worked in Dallas-Ft. Worth, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Arkansas.
Now? Austin Texas, Live Music Capitol of the World! I love Austin and San Antonio (possibly the MOST underrated restaurant town EVER) My customers, AMAZING! (“Remember… EVERYONE is your customer” – Pops) I’ve have lifelong friends I get to work with and look forward to it every day. Stop by, maybe run into McConaughey and listen to his stories. Most importantly, we’ll eat. “You learn a lot about someone when you share a meal together” – Anthony Bourdain

I started my “career” in the food service industry quite by accident. I took a temp job at TGI Friday’s and spent 18 years with them. Started out as an Admin in the Purchasing Department and ended up as a Project Manager. During that interim, I handled the purchasing of all things except food, for new restaurant locations both domestic and international. I am a Mom of three very different children, all on different paths but thankfully succeeding in their journeys! Born in Barbados and no matter how long it’s been since I lived there, I am an island girl at heart!
I joined Miller & Associates three years ago as the Quotation Manager and now we have transitioned to our new company and I am excited for all of the possibilities that are now open to us

Over the next 15 years worked for several other large Chain Restaurants primarily in BOH operations training new managers. Moved to Dallas is 1991 and over the next 4 years opened (17) new restaurants. After leaving restaurant operations became a produce salesman for several years. In 2001 I started to work for a KES in purchasing and shortly after became a project manager. I left the dealer world in 2011 to start to work for Miller & Associates as the Bid Guy. From there I was afforded the opportunity to start selling equipment. I don’t think of myself as a salesman. I like to create relationships and have been fortunate to be able meet so many people in this business. It is the relationship building that brings me joy. Helping others with solutions.
I have 2 grand sons who live Broken Arrow Oklahoma Ben & Max. They are such a joy and I look forward to seeing then soon. My son and I enjoy playing golf together and talk about hunting and fishing that he does.
My wife of 31 years has been my biggest supporter and my first joy I get to see every morning.

Bio
I started with Miller & Associates in January 2006. I became the Office Manager when Jeff Griffiths and Bobby Watson purchased the company in late 2006. Now, with E-Source Miller, I am the Operations Manager. Prior to entering the food service industry, I worked in commercial business insurance for 22 years. I worked for Wausau Insurance Company (fun fact: they were the first writers of Workers Compensation insurance in the USA) in the South Central Division as Audit Supervisor. I also worked in Human Resources during my time at Wausau.
I am married and I have three sons, ages 31, 28 and 22. As my two oldest sons each graduated from college, Jeff G. hired them and they also work for E-Source Miller. My youngest son graduated from college in May 2021 and has started his work life at a Wealth Management company. I love spending time with my family and friends. We enjoy eating out, watching movies and going to concerts together. I enjoy all types of music, but my usual playlist would probably consist of classic rock and Motown. I enjoy dramas and mystery movies and my favorite types of TV are true crime and house hunting shows, but I would never turn down a good documentary about any interesting subject. My guilty pleasure on television is Married at First Sight.
