When did you start selling/recruiting?

I’ve been involved in the sales business for nearly my entire life. I spent most of my formative years hanging out and working in my family’s local small business. Following college, I was able to parlay those years of experience and exposure in to a successful career in B2B outside sales. Over the last few years, I’ve been able to use my business and sales experience to help companies all over the country, and in a variety of industries, find exceptional talent.

What motivates you?

In this line of work, we are in a position to help change the trajectory of someone’s life and career, and that’s both exciting and humbling. It’s incredibly rewarding to help a great candidate land the job of their dreams. At the same time, by providing our clients with exceptional talent, we have the ability to directly impact the success of their business. If that doesn’t get you out of bed in the morning, I don’t know what will!

How do you like to spend your free time?

What free time? When I’m not at work, I’m usually on an athletic field somewhere, coaching one of my kids’ teams. I enjoy spending time with my family and doing anything outdoors related – hunting, fishing, camping, hiking. If it’s outside, you can usually count me in.

What did you want to be when you grew up?

I’ve always had a thing for industrial design, particularly athletic shoes. If you go through my notebooks from elementary school through college, you’ll probably find more shoe design sketches than actual course-related notes. I still dream of having my own line one day.

What do you usually eat for breakfast?

Coffee. Actually, 2 cups of coffee.
