I am fascinated by how everything connects — entrepreneurship, leadership, education and technology — and the changes that our economy and workplace are going through right now makes it an exciting time to be at the center of the digital media revolution. As a journalist and lifelong curious thinker, I am continuously digging into how the rise of globalization, rise of small businesses, rise of the single-parent family, and rise of women in the workplace will affect the structure of businesses. Technology and our leap from an Industrial economy to a knowledge one will forever change our outlook on education, gender conversations, and even management styles. At the end of the day, I am a story-teller who's interested in people and social developments.

The Ruhlin Group was humbly founded in college as a way to market Cutco Cutlery as a high end corporate gift to companies of all sizes. This partnership with Cutco has allowed us to become the #1 all time distributor of Cutco in their 60 year history out of over 1,000,000 distributors and an active consultant to their executives and leadership. Total sales of Cutco Corporation over the last 10 years have grown to exceed over $250 million a year. Through representing Cutco over the last 10 years we have been fortunate to interact and build relationships with hundreds of leaders that have asked for our assistance in a number of areas and those requests have become a spring board for numerous companies. Although our core continues to be impacting sales and relationship development, we also have developed relationships with industry leaders from diverse backgrounds and now have minority ownership in the following areas: small business turnarounds (under 20M companies) · grass roots philanthropy and fundraising · incorporating wellness programs to reduce health care costs · leveraging strategic gifts to reach decision makers, and other bottom line focused activities including A+ level client development Specialties: Strategic High End Corporate Gifts · Creating Residual Grass Roots Fundraising and Philantrophy · Connecting Leaders with Leaders · Developing World Class Sales Culture · Small Business Turnarounds · Private Equity · Incorporating Wellness Programs to Reduce Healthcare
