Laura lives in Holland, Michigan, with her husband, Ben, their three children—Jacob, Sidny, and Otto—and this year, they’ve also welcomed an Italian foreign exchange student, Lorenzo, into their home.

Professionally, Laura serves as General Counsel for DENSO Ten, a tier-one automotive supplier based in Novi, Michigan. She has more than 20 years of experience as a compliance attorney for large healthcare and education systems. 

Outside the office, Laura’s true passion lies in movement and the sense of community it creates. She believes deeply that community is medicine. With her husband, who recently retired after 22 years of active-duty service, Laura co-founded 90 Degree Ascent / The Forge Yoga and Movement Studio in Holland. They believed that together with the veteran community, we could change the way veterans viewed their post-service life alongside their community.
