I've had the privilege of working with a rather wide variety of different sales organizations. My initial career start in sales came with Auto-Chlor where I was not only maintaining and repairing commercial dishwashing equipment but was also tasked with upselling clients on our line of cleaning products and renegotiating equipment leases. From there, I made my way to what was essentially a sales/management training boot camp at Alpha Acquisitions, a Cydcor subsidiary. This was a year-and-a-half journey of visiting 60+ businesses daily to help our client Quill expand into new markets. Given this role was 100% commission it significantly forged my hunter mentality and significantly enhanced my sales and managerial abilities. This boots-on-the-ground work style made it very easy for me to segway into the SaaS industry. I made a quick name for myself at Nolo closing a deal on my first day on the phones. This SaaS entry point then led me to ApexChat (now Blazeo) where I've had the opportunity to engage with and close C-suite executives, navigate enterprise-size deals (including our largest direct billing client), secure key partnerships to expand our reach in verticals where we had minimal presence and co-host webinars to help expand our reach. I thoroughly enjoy connecting with people daily, solving problems, executing large deals, smashing expectations, and leading the sales pack. I currently reside in the East SF Bay Area with my wife, two daughters, and two dogs. I'm a big fan of travel, cooking, art, hiking, movies and video games.
