Having accumulated over three decades of experience, I have cultivated a fulfilling career as a multifaceted entrepreneur. specializing in sales and business development, product development, marketing and communications, advertising, and brand reputation and loyalty.

In this role, I coach and mentor sales team leaders nationwide, ensuring they remain adaptable to an ever-changing market and are training their employees in the most effective sales practices.

I accrued a wealth of entrepreneurial experience as a teenager, managing several small business endeavors such as lawn mowing, car washing, and snow shoveling services. Before my current endeavor, I operated as the Director, Inside Business Development for Cox Automotive in Dallas, Texas, leading high-performing tech sales teams throughout the US. Before that served as Senior Manager for T-Mobile USA in Frisco, Texas, building a field BD strategy for commercial telecom sales from 2014 to 2017. I also worked extensively with Douglass Media Group as a Regional Sales Director from 2009 to 2014. I formally began my career in the early 1990s as an individual contributor in sales, marketing, and advertising for several companies.

Before embarking on my vocational journey, I completed college coursework in business management at Arizona State University and in marketing and advertising at The University of Texas, Arlington. Well-regarded for my accomplishments in the field, I have been honored with several accolades and awards throughout my career, including a Spotlight Award from Douglass Media Group in 2009 and the President's Club Award from Cox Automotive in 2019. I attribute much of my success to my empathy and integrity. I look forward to continuing to expand my business interests and helping others develop their skills in the coming years.
