Bio

I joined The Kroger Co. - America's largest grocery retailer - in 1978 as a part-time stock clerk in Lexington, KY, working my way through college (go Big Blue Nation! #UK). During my lifelong career with Kroger, I've had the privilege of uplifting thousands of associates, serving millions of customers and eating lots of great food. I'm most passionate about the work Kroger is doing through Zero Hunger | Zero Waste, our bold social impact initiative, to end hunger in the communities we serve and eliminate waste across the company by 2025. At The Kroger Co., we are Fresh for Everyone and dedicated to our Purpose: To Feed the Human Spirit. We are, across our family of companies, nearly half a million associates who serve over 11 million customers daily through a seamless shopping experience under a variety of banner names.
