I love hard work, whether its lifting weights, racing mountain bikes or competing in an intense selling space. I highly value family and seek to develop close relationships with my kids, colleagues, and customers. I am happy to work alone but can also add tremendous value to my peers, to my manager, and to the people I serve. I have been in pharmaceutical sales for 21 years, the last 19 with Takeda Pharmaceuticals selling in the diabetic, gastroenterological, cardiovascular, Neuro Science and now GI rare disease. Helping my wife care for my mother-in-law with Alzheimer’s and a brother in law with head injuries has both increased my compassion and given me a deep sense of the value our industry brings to patients. Relieving pain, maximizing potential, and bringing hope. I am a lifelong learner and I love developing new skills. Training for a Tough Mudder obstacle course, practicing latte art or studying human psychology and motivation are examples.
