Sales management has always been a part of my life. My father and grandfather have helped develop my skill sets by allowing me to be a part of their business from a very early age. After college, an opportunity came up to work for Coca-Cola Enterprises as an account manager on our food service-on premise team. A year and a half later Coca-Cola Enterprises became Coca-Cola Refreshments and I moved over to our home market team calling on large grocery stores, Walmart, Target, etc. After learning the large store side I was promoted to merchandising supervisor and was able to manage our service levels through a team of 20-25 merchandisers. After two years managing our service team, I was promoted to district sales manager in the Overland Park/Johnson county area. This was our largest district in the Midwest representing 2.5 million cases and $25 million in revenue. 3 years later another district came open and it would allow me to learn more about operations in distribution, warehouse, and cooler service and this is where I am today. Currently, I am managing our facility in St. Joseph, Missouri and continue to grow and develop my skill set. My goal is to continue moving vertically while developing those around me which is my passion.
