Business has been a part of Mendi’s life since she was 9 and her father, who was a professor of finance, opened his first business.  Family business was never Mendi’s goal, but she couldn’t deny its pull in her life.  Having worked in the family business most of her life, she purchased Insta Lube 10 Minute Oil Change after the death of her father in 2012.  Over the next 10 years Mendi and Clay worked together to increase business over 300%.  Over these 10 years was when the mission of being a business owner developed and grew, giving her a passion for serving her employees and customers.  In 2022 following the sale of Insta Lube, Mendi ventured into a new realm of logistics as the managing partner of JTTW Trucking Inc.  The same passion drives her every day to provide the best service for her customers and environment for her employees while growing a robust bottom line.

Mendi is not a career coach or consultant, but a seasoned business owner and leader who has been through the ups, downs, and everywhere in between in regards to business.  After helping other business owners over the years, Mendi has combined her passion for business with a passion for helping other business owners and leaders be the best they can be and live abundantly.

Mendi has been married to Clay for 27 years and they have 3 children, Mary Claire and Ellie (both 21) and Thomas (19).
