Hi there! Thanks for stopping by!

Here is a little about me.

I have 15+ years of experience in higher education, tech, non-profit , real-estate, and Landscaping.

My Jam?

Tech: I really enjoy nerding out on new tech.

Sales: I love the chase and helping businesses win.

Operations: Streamlining systems and process is my superpower!

Outside of work: I love hanging with my wife and (4) kiddos, sunny days at the beach, following college football (Hook'em Horns), and teeing it up for a round of golf as much as I can.

Let's chat! I'm always down to connect.
