“Nothing is really work unless you’d rather be doing something else” - J.M. Barrie The older I get the more I stand behind this quote. My career started at the not-so-legal age of 12 working for my father. Picture a scrawny young boy making soda at a bottling plant (yes, times were different!). No longer the youthful 12-year-old, I’m excited to be part of the amazingly talented group at NTI Global who is building the next generation of American Manufacturing. As the West Coast Sales Manager I work in a consultative sales role with both fortune 500 companies and independently owned businesses. As a ‘new-age’ company our teams communicate across all levels, allowing me to use my skills to help build sales and marketing teams, as well as influence the future direction of the company. We are constantly striving to better serve our customers, provide added value, and support industries. Managing a territory from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean in the US and Canada, I can often be found on my laptop in an airport. Outside of work I love to cycle and golf, mostly to stay in good enough shape to drink wine and eat out at nice restaurants with my beautiful wife.
