Seasoned management and operations professional with over 20 years of experience. Veteran of multiple successful start-up companies with a proven track record of client and employee retention and satisfaction. Strong technical and analytical aptitude, well-versed on complex problem solving, and a facilitator of cross-functional collaboration. As the Director of Sales Administration and Business Analytics at John I. Haas, a leading supplier and innovator of hop products, I lead a team of seasoned professionals focused on providing superior client services, sales support, and industry expertise.After starting my career as an educator, I moved into the business world and helped start a successful financial company that was eventually purchased by a regional bank. In 2000, I caught the internet start-up bug and went to work for Avenue A (early aQuantive). There, I had the amazing opportunity to work across many clients, divisions, and offices for over 10 years, learning most every facet of the digital advertising world along the way. Wanting to recreate that experience of helping build a successful company from the ground-floor, I had the opportunity to work at Mercent, and then Mixpo create and/or fine-tune teams, processes, tools and resources.After 16+ years in the technology and services industry, I decided to change fields and apply my skill set and experience to the hop industry. To that end, I joined John I. Haas in September of 2016 to manage their Sales Administration team and to provide business analytics. Change is something I've always thrived on.When not immersed in the beer business, I enjoy outdoor recreation in all seasons (hiking, biking, skiing), travel, music, motorcycle riding, and spending time with my wife and two lovely and amazing daughters.Specialties: Operations, Client Service, Analytics, Management, Sales Support, Leadership, Problem Solving
