With decades of experience—both as a C-suite executive and business owner—I have provided strategic, sales, and operational leadership to ensure strong financial performance, regardless of market conditions. I’ve faced some tough situations—including the recession and pandemic—and I’ve not only weathered those storms but led the business to emerge stronger. My career began with a family-owned business, a manufacturer’s representative company in the highly competitive automotive supply market. I progressed to increasingly responsible leadership roles, eventually taking over ownership of the company in 2001. Since then, I grew the business to more than $20 million in sales and achieved profitability for more than 20 consecutive years. In the wake of the pandemic, a long-time customer recruited me to take on the President, COO & Vice President of Sales role. Through a transformational strategy, I strengthened key operational, financial, and employee issues, successfully returning the company to pre-pandemic sales performance. Underpinning my business successes is my unique leadership approach. A former football coach and Division 1-AA Football All-American, I bring a level of intensity and discipline that’s balanced by a deep understanding of individual motivations. Just as on the field, I understand that not everyone responds to the same coaching style, and I adapt my approach to maximize each employee’s performance. In this way, I foster a work environment rooted in accountability, encouragement, and a shared vision of success.
