Dreamstyle Remodeling

As Regional Sales Manager at Dreamstyle Remodeling—I lead a high‐performing team of 15–20 sales professionals responsible for generating $1.5–$2.5 million in monthly revenue. My day‐to‐day focus is on driving revenue growth, optimizing the entire sales process, and fostering a results‐driven, high‐performance culture.

I begin each day by reviewing key metrics and resolving overnight issues, including canceled cases and Costco escalations. Through Salesforce, I ensure all new leads and open opportunities are properly assigned and followed up on, and I work closely with my team to keep our sales board updated and address any gaps in performance. Weekly ride‐alongs and coaching sessions allow me to mentor reps one‐on‐one, sharing negotiation strategies and home‐remodeling expertise that help close deals more effectively.

I also develop and deliver targeted training—covering everything from financing options (Costco, Service Finance, Momnt, Green Sky) to utilizing digital sales tools (Fluix, 1‐Click, PaySimple)—so each rep is prepared to perform at their best. By rigorously tracking close rates, proactively resolving holds, and rehashing past leads, my team has grown from a 12% closing percentage to 18% year over year.

Ultimately, my goal is to empower every sales professional to excel while ensuring a seamless experience for our clients. I’m proud to have built a cohesive, results‐oriented sales team that consistently meets and exceeds targets, solidifying Dreamstyle Remodeling’s reputation as an industry leader.

Organization Development and Change Consultant

Point Loma Nazarene University

Organik SEO is a San Diego based digital marketing agency focused on supporting the growth and success of natural, organic, and purpose-driven brands and organizations.

Organik SEO requested our team of four conduct a market research analysis to identify and evaluate the distinguishing characteristics of its customers to better understand its needs and values for the purposes of segmentation and target marketing.  Over a three month span our team successfully conducted nine in-depth interviews with natural CPG brands to determine how Organik SEO could better serve its current and future customers.

Point Loma Nazarene University has successfully introduced a range of degree completion programs providing affordable and convenient access to a quality Bachelor’s Degree at several San Diego community colleges. The purpose of this project is to help form and grow the development of the Degree Completion Program's at both, Grossmont and Cuyamaca, Community Colleges.

Our team composed of six MBA students utilized an email/web based research design method. This email solicitation contained a link to a Qualtrics-hosted web-based survey and was sent to over 25,000 current students at Grossmont and Cuyumaca. We analyzed the data from over 2,000 respondents using SPSS to better understand the preferences and likeness of each program that PLNU is currently offering for their Degree Completion Program. We determined that a majority of students were interested in obtaining a Bachelor's degree and provided data on the market potential for each program. Finally, our research revealed the mere existence and awareness of programs dramatically increased the amount of student interest in degree programs.

Most revenue teams are building with borrowed tools.
The same CRMs. The same databases. The same cold email sequences.
It’s no wonder results feel flat — everyone’s playing the same game.

At JMC, we help you build your own.
We design Revenue Intelligence Architectures — proprietary systems that turn raw data, messy ops, and stale tactics into leverage your competitors can’t copy.

Our systems give you:
• Decision-making engines that route leads automatically
• Custom TAMs built from scratch (not scraped from ZoomInfo)
• Cross-channel orchestration that learns, adapts, and compounds
• A foundation your team can own, scale, and evolve

This isn’t RevOps.
It’s competitive advantage — built through automation, intelligence, and strategic clarity.

Want to see what that looks like in your business?
Start with a 48-hour architecture evaluation. We’ll map the risks, identify the upside, and show you exactly where the edge lives.

basix.ai

We started basix.ai because we saw firsthand how doing “sales as usual” prevented sales from happening. Once we isolated and focused on the activities that drive revenue, we were able to boil it down to its simplest components; do the things that drive prospects forward, and stop doing the things that hinder sales. 

Most sales reps inadvertently spend time:

- Chasing deals that were never going to close (based on bad or incomplete data)
- Deciding who should be contacted based on gut feel
- Spending time on endless research, going between systems and databases

We built a technology platform that actually works with the salesperson to keep them in sales conversations and in their sales flow. 

Our experience has shown the answer is not to try to surround the salesperson with more activities and just increase performance, but rather keep the focus on just selling.  

With basix, the smart workflow engine learns what activities and what prospects to focus on so your sales team can get better results. This happens because the system learns who is the current “low-hanging fruit” and constantly serves them up. At the same time, the highest and best activities are matched, taking those prospects further into the buyer’s journey, and moving them to the close.

Founder Helping You Grow | Follow for Daily Leadership & Growth Insights | Serial Entrepreneur | Ex-RBC

My story isn't typical - it's not about steady corporate progression or entrepreneurship from the start.

At 23, as a single dad, my journey took an unexpected turn.

In big corporations, where I stayed longer than planned, I experienced a different kind of growth.

Each night, after my son slept, my dual life as a father and ambitious professional unfolded.

But here's something you might not know: in these big companies, I didn't just get by; I excelled. Leading teams from two to 550, I was more than just another face.

I was a leader, learning about product development and large-scale expansion.

Yet, I constantly wondered, 'Am I too late to start my own business?'

This internal struggle, balancing comfort and ambition, kept me restless.

Outwardly successful in corporate, inwardly, I yearned for something of my own.

Skeptics called my desire to leave a stable career crazy, intensifying my internal conflict.

As my son became more independent, my perspective shifted.

A change was brewing, a readiness for something new.

That's when I left my corporate safety net, embracing the unknown.

The excitement of change was tangible, but what was to come?

My journey, initially thought to be solo, became a collaborative effort.

My first customer, my peers - they were more than connections; they were catalysts for transformation.

This transformation led to founding two startups in seven years.

Leaving corporate life for entrepreneurship was more than a business move; it was self-discovery, realizing my potential.

My achievements are clear:

→ Generated 9-figure revenue growth for clients and employers.
→ Progressed through 10 roles in two companies before venturing out.
→ Grew bootstrapped businesses to 7 and 8-figure heights.
→ Developed numerous leaders.
→ Launched several products.
→ Built two startups in seven years.

I share my story to inspire those on similar paths, not for self-praise.

If you're wondering if it's too late or too risky, let my experience guide you.

I'm here to connect, share, and inspire.

Let's discover what lies ahead, together.
