A career sales professional, customer advocate, and entrepreneur, I enjoyed over two decades in Specialty Coffee. A mid career shift to a new industry serving a similar customer base was serendipitous and absolutely thrilling. I proudly enter my 7th year with Heartland Payment Systems in early 2021. Heartland, a clear leader in the payment solutions industry, appealed to me by setting itself apart, truly akin to my values to customers in similar industry. What was truly serendipitous was the doors it opened for networking and new relationships.With fairness & transparency in credit card processing to businesses of all classes, Heartland possessed the very principles I value, and a moniker, "Entrepreneurs Respectfully Serving Entrepreneurs" that reflects my attitude as a professional. With burgeoning technology, an acumen for restaurant, retail and service industries, a suite of POS (Point of Sale systems) & Ecommerce solutions, and integrations that bring industry together, we optimize operations for a client. Ease of payment technology unfolds before our eyes, and Heartland embraces such efficiency without ever neglecting commitment to security. This with a 3-year price-lock guarantee makes Heartland THE standout in the industry.Heartland also offer clients the nations finest payroll processing company. Adding value to our offer to our clients by way of cloud based technology, our payroll includes a single point of contact make for ease in an employer's operations. Add to that our price-lock and you have a clients attention. Also an entrepreneur, I started and own a successful brand in the cleaning industry, We Do Windows and More. The brand has been synonymous with excellence, and the nurturing and trust of key people in our company has kept us as a local standout company. I look to a successor who will keep my clients and the brand in good hands.After so many years, Specialty Coffee still runs through my veins! As an espresso aficionado, an acumen in coffee grading all made for a very satisfying life experience and career in coffee. Many of those relationships have extended to my new career. My heart aches for this industry, and will someday warrant a return as an entrepreneur.I truly have had an enriched career, and am as excited as ever for opportunities ahead in 2021 and beyond. To bring tremendous value to a client and merchants, make their businesses and lives better, and network with others in adjacent industry brings me joy in serving the business community. To love what one does makes each day an exciting one!
