I help strategic SaaS sellers become millionaires without sacrificing their well-being using design & systems thinking. Get started w/ the links in my featured section ↓

I help elite tech sellers turn sales performance into leverage and leverage into long-term autonomy.

This isn’t about hustling harder. It’s about redesigning how you operate so success compounds without costing your health, inflating your lifestyle, or sacrificing long-term freedom.

Most sales advice focuses on techniques and tactics.

My work centers on installing a purposeful operating system that transforms your tech sales performance into optionality. This is called 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐲 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞™.

This is done by turning your most finite resources—time, energy, attention, and money—into leverage. When done right, the calendar stops being a source of stress and becomes more like a game console—a tool for intentional focus, strategy, and play (instead of work as a grind).

My journey?

In less than 4 years, from 2018–2022, I closed over $50M in enterprise tech sales, leading AI-enabled transformation deals with companies such as Delta, Chipotle, and UnitedHealthcare.

I entered the 7-figure annual earnings club in 2019 and averaged $1M+ for 3 consecutive years before stepping away from corporate sales at age 42.

That type of success wasn't always the case.

Like many competitive, high performers, I bought into hustle culture earlier in my career. The constant pressure eventually led to severe burnout, including a hospital visit in my early 30s, from overworking. Despite my increased efforts, my earnings stalled around ~$200K per year.

Everything changed when I adopted a Human First, Seller Second philosophy. I combined systems thinking and intentional performance design.

Instead of pushing harder, I redesigned my approach. The result wasn’t just higher income. It was sustainability—and more importantly, authentic autonomy.

The outcomes:

→ High performance while averaging ~7 hours of sleep
→ $27.3M+ in ARR generated with a 78% close rate
→ $3.8M+ in personal income in under 4 years
→ Corporate retirement 10 years ahead of plan

Today, through The Purposeful Performer, I write, advise, and work with enterprise and strategic revenue generators who want to turn tech sales into a noble craft and a funding vehicle for long-term autonomy.

RevGenius is a group of revenue-generating sales and marketing professionals brought together to learn, share, support, and grow with each other.

I help SaaS and high-growth companies unlock exponential ARR growth by building partner ecosystems, affiliate programs, and GTM systems that scale.

Unlike most leaders who specialize in either sales or partnerships, I bring both:
	•	Closed 7-figure enterprise deals as an AE.
	•	Built partner programs adding $10M–$40M+ ARR.
	•	Designed affiliate systems activating thousands of high-performing partners.

My approach blends direct sales experience with a playbook for recruiting, activating, and scaling partner ecosystems that deliver measurable revenue impact.

Currently applying this GTM playbook inside Instantly.ai, where I’m documenting the journey in real time — frameworks, wins, and lessons that any GTM leader can adapt to scale faster.

What I do best:
	•	Design & scale high-impact partner programs.
	•	Build integrated GTM systems combining affiliates, agencies, integrations, and brand alliances.
	•	Turn real-world results into repeatable, monetizable frameworks.

I also work with select founders, execs, and investors through consulting, advisory, and JV opportunities — helping them structure partnerships that multiply revenue and create leverage.

📌 Core Competencies:
• Partnership & Affiliate Revenue Growth
• GTM Architecture & Execution
• Enterprise Sales & Negotiation
• Strategic Alliances & Integrations
• Business Process Optimization
• Leadership & Coaching High-Growth Teams

If you’re building a partner-sourced GTM function and want to scale faster, let’s connect.

As Head of Partnerships, I stay close to the work.

That means:
Talking directly to customers.
Listening to tech partners.
Working alongside affiliates.
Shaping what an integration should look like.
Designing the exact flow.
Hearing real objections from prospects also evaluating competitors.
Building go-to-market strategy end-to-end with partners.
Owning the operations and documentation that make scale possible.

This isn’t accidental — it’s intentional.

No matter how senior the role, some time needs to be spent here.
This is where signal lives.

And when the thought crosses my mind that I “don’t have time” for it, I’m reminded:

This is a motion that has to happen regularly — like exercising or brushing your teeth.

It doesn’t need all of your time.
But it does need to happen.

Partners are just another type of customer.
Staying close helps you pressure-test the value early
and shape something people actually want to take to market.

It keeps you honest.
It sharpens how you build.
It clarifies how you’re discovered.
And it forces your GTM story to make sense outside your own walls.

Being close is what lets you build the right things
and bring them to market faster.
