I've always been a problem-solver—addicted to learning and fiercely dedicated to my work. My obsession with optimization and progression has led me to develop a wide range of skills that I continue to build upon daily.I started my first business when I was 9 and have built several more since, in fields like retail, e-commerce, legal, service and technology. While self-employed for the last decade, I funded many of these ventures by working my way up in an established organization.Starting as an entry-level sales rep. for a travel club, I became the youngest director and executive sales trainer in the company's 40-year history. This role involved managing a team, delivering sales presentations, recruitment and release, traveling for corporate meetings and conducting expansion research.⭐ 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀:𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗘𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗰 - Building businesses has made me very familiar with 80+ hour work weeks—there's rarely a substitute for hard work.𝗗𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻 - I am an exceptionally quick learner, have big aspirations and despise complacency. If I don't have a necessary skill, I'll learn it.𝗩𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗲/𝗔𝗱𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 - I work well both in teams and alone, and I’m not tied to any single industry or position.𝗗𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 - I live by the principle, “You're only as good as your word.” When I say I’ll do something, I do it.𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 - I've turned down offers that would have enabled me to retire early. While I'm highly-competitive and motivated, I don't believe that it's necessary to step on others to get ahead—I'd rather earn a victory than steal one.💼 𝗘𝘅𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗜𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲:When my friends were playing video games, I was figuring out how to sell the digital assets on eBay.When I noticed how many inefficiencies were in my daily life, I bought a 3D printer, taught myself CAD and built products to optimize them.When I couldn't find clothing that fit me off the rack, I taught myself how to tailor.When I struggled to find artwork to decorate my home and businesses, I taught myself various graphics programs and printed my own.When the market surged in 2020, I didn't blindly throw money into Gamestop—I taught myself to code and developed my own proprietary trading algorithms that I still utilize daily.I’m incredibly confident in my ability to bring significant value to your organization and look forward to connecting to discuss the possibilities.
