I am a Director, Enterprise Sales and logistics specialist with extensive experience in business development, sales, and supply chain management. I have worked with nearly 2,500 different supply chains, including those that moved clean nuclear items, disaster recovery related commodities, pharmaceuticals, priceless works of art, and wind turbines.I currently work for ArcBest, “a publicly traded, over $5 billion logistics powerhouse with 14,000 employees across more than 250 campuses and service centers.” ArcBest is “a trusted advisor to some of the world’s biggest and most recognizable brands, creating smart logistics solutions that make it easy to do business.”My duties at ArcBest include providing enterprise-level logistics and supply chain solutions for customers and prospects who move freight via LTL, TL, expedited delivery, ocean, and air, domestically and internationally. I have a proven record of helping customers increase sales, revenues, and profits by developing products and services tailored to their specific needs.I constantly build and expand relationships and partnerships with customers, manufacturers, and government agencies. Doing so has allowed me to develop large sales territories that have generated significant revenue growth for many of my employers. I also have experience leading and training teams how to achieve prescribed sales goals.I was selected to the President’s Club for sales excellence by ArcBest in 2021, and also received the same award 14 out of 18 years as a regional manager and sales contractor for FedEx Custom Critical. I was in the top ten for sales excellence eight times during that 18 year period, including being first in the country in 2012, and fifth in the country in 2013.My extensive logistics knowledge and experience allowed me to co-invent a new type of secondary hitch trailer (U.S. Patent 7,766,362) “that allows the lineal, straight, reverse movement of one or more vehicles in tow behind a prime mover.” I raised more than $136,000 from venture capitalists, and secured $36,000 in federal and state grant money, to develop and market the patent. I also hired a team of six engineers to perform beta testing with several carriers.I have a B.A. in Business and Communications from Monmouth College.Please feel free to connect with me.
