My mission is to live a life of curiosity, trust, love, fitness, and adventure, using my superpower of connecting with people to help them grow and succeed. Time and relationships are invaluable, and by building meaningful connections, I can learn from others and positively impact lives. This translates to my professional endeavors, where I am driven to generate revenue for my company by fostering authentic interactions with people and supporting them in achieving their goals.
It keeps me connected to my Chicago roots, alma mater (Fight On✌️), former co-workers, clients, family, friends, and new connections. I'm the guy you come to because "he knows a guy" or he knows the answer.

Curious and enthusiastic about taking my marketing and business degree from USC, I found myself in advertising for the better part of my career. I was first exceeding quota as an individual contributor with Yahoo, being promoted, and overseeing a team across 3 different offices while managing a book.
Looking to gain knowledge in the startup world, I took my entrepreneurial spirit and passion for these companies, where I found myself exceeding goals and bringing incalculable value to these companies and customers.
I transitioned from advertising sales to working for startups to highlight my out-of-the-box thinking in setting up and implementing go-to-market strategies for non-endemic revenue streams, creating partnerships, resellers, affiliate channels, and more—a natural revenue generator and value creator.
If you believe partnerships allow your organization to access new markets with reduced time-to-market, and faster scale, you should get to know me. And even if you are not looking to expand your program now, you should reach out, as I welcome the opportunity to get to know you.

When not succeeding with work, you can find me hiking, deep in self-growth discovery, going to a concert or sporting event, traveling, or kicking back with a drink. Always with a smile on my face (or smirk).
