What motivates you?

The beauty of the staffing industry is that the more people we help, the more success comes our way.  So for me, what motivates me is to see all of the amazing people that we have placed in careers find long term success.  When someone finds their dream job, when someone is able to earn more money, have a better work environment, cut down on their commute, have a better boss…it is so motivating that our work didn’t just help that one person.  Our work helped that person, their family, the hiring manager that hired them, and the company that is reaping the rewards of this talented individual.  Leading a team here at AllSearch that can truly impact the lives of so many is all the motivation I need.

What do you do for fun/spend your free time?

As a father to two amazing kids, much of my time outside of the office is spent with them.  I get to proudly observe my son from afar as he is a Cadet at the United States Military Academy at West Point.  And with daughter being an amazing three sport athlete at her high school, my wife and I spend most of our evenings watching games and cheering her on.  Outside of that, my wife and I love to travel and see the world as much as we possibly can.

What is the biggest mistake job seekers make?

Being passive in their efforts.  The old cliché of “good things come to those who wait” is 100% inaccurate.  Good things come to those who DON’T wait.  If you want to work for your dream company, if you want to be considered for the fantastic job posting you just saw, if you want to get a Recruiter’s attention, if you want to move forward in the interview stage, if you want to come in first and get the offer…drive the process!  Don’t sit around and wait to be told about the next step or the next stage.  It is your career!  The second biggest mistake would be lacking attention to detail.  Every word of your resume matters, every word on your social media matters, every word of your e-mail correspondence matters.

Where did you go to school/college?

I am a proud graduate of York College or Pennsylvania here in York, PA.  My wife is also a graduate, my wife is an adjunct professor there, and I have had the honor of hiring many fellow YCP graduates on to our team here at AllSearch!

What is my favorite quote?

“There’s no reason to have a plan B because it distracts from plan A.” – If you truly want something, if you truly want to make a dream a reality, then focus everything you have on that dream…no matter what anyone says, no matter how many setbacks occur.  I love this quote and believe every word of it.
