What were you doing before partnering with The Cleaning Authority?
I grew up in Central Iowa and have lived in the area my whole life. I attended University of Iowa before returning to Central Iowa to pursue a career in the insurance industry. After 15 years in that area, I decided to get involved with small business ownership.

How did you learn about The Cleaning Authority, and what made you ultimately decide to commit?
I worked with a broker at FranChoice to help select a franchise that would fit my strengths. I have always been interested in owning a small business, and the broker showed me how the franchise model provides support but also allows for flexibility in my business. The Cleaning Authority’s philosophy aligned with my strengths and interests because of my background working one-on-one with customers as well as doing hiring, coaching, training and sales.

Why is the Des Moines the perfect market for your The Cleaning Authority business?
The Cleaning Authority is a proven national brand with presence of more than 200 locations. Since Des Moines has a lot of dual income families who are busy with careers and children, The Cleaning Authority is a much needed service.
