I am honored to work for the leader in our community not only in Real Estate but in Construction and Development. My unique skill set in sales and marketing along with exceptional client relations have prepared me for an amazing career in real estate. Coming home to Montana was an easy decision, especially with all the new and great things happening here. I love reconnecting with all the great places and most of all the amazing people. There is an understanding of Montana being the Last Best Place, and truly the people are what make this place the best! I look forward to partnering with you in all your future property sales and purchases.

For a short period of time I operated as an independent consultant in many varying areas of my HVAC and marketing expertise.

Headframe Spirits Manufacturing was a very unique experience. The years before working for HSM I had been representing the spirit sales as a brand ambassador in Washington State. I was very familiar with the product and the company. With the help of a state funded grant Headframe was able to create a new experimental position. In this role my primary objective was to educate first and foremost the process of continuous distillation and the benefits of using a CF-1000 & CF-5000 still in place of pot distillation. New sales strategies to approach the beverage alcohol market and increase still sales. A large portion of my duties included client relations with existing still builds. Keeping the clients informed on their new still as far as where we are in the build cycle, answering any questions, scheduling and performing owners training. Near the end of my time at at HFM my primary focus shifted to wiring and problem solving the control issues with the very first CF-5000. Completely out of my comfort zone, I wired the entire still and also resolved several large issues with components and controls. The satisfaction of being one of the first to see this large continuous distillation machine make alcohol made it worth it.

At Dorse Company my primary objective was to support the engineering team as well as the sales team with specialty products. The products included chilled beams and radiant panels, critical environment ceiling systems in medical and clean room applications, and critical environment venturi valves. My primary focus was on the Price line of venturi valves. Dorse's first large scale venturi project was commissioned under my watch. The new laboratory at the Shell Puget Sound Refinery contained over 60 fume hoods in several varying critical zones with corresponding supply air venturi valves. Project management and the entire commissioning of the Price components required nearly two months of supervision and hands on programming. Upon my departure from Dorse it was rewarding to see this project come to completion and educate the Shell operators during the Owners Training. It was refreshing to jump out of my sales role and learn hands on as full time commissioning technician and deal with the day to day hurdles that come with it.

Within my first month of employment my marketing skills were recognized and became critical in the transition of the Air Commodities brand and image into ACI Mechanical & HVAC Sales. I managed and designed an assortment of marketing deliverables. Including; brochures, invitations, web based media, interactive line-cards, and project/product features for print and reader board displays. I prepared and formatted a variety of forms and document letter heads upon the rebranding of Air Commodities to ACI. I also developed interactive purchase orders in both Excel and Adobe formats. Highlight to this position was organizing ACI’s 30th Anniversary event, where I led the ACI team over three months resulting in a week long product expo that included displays and presentations from over twenty factories for approx. 250 guests over two separate locations.

Primary task was to present product solutions and provided sales support to mechanical engineers, architects, mechanical & general contractors, and end users. Specialized areas of expertise were equipment solutions, surgical suite ceiling systems, filtration and indoor air quality. I also provided project management on a multitude of projects for clients in addition to internal estimating and sales team support. Activities also included job site visits as well as owner training. I developed pricing and reference tools for quick turn estimating and pricing consistency. In early 2015 I was selected to maintain engineering operations over a four month period in our Portland office due to the loss of personnel and to assist in training new staff. I designed and implemented an electronic filing structure for all projects to integrate multiple departments work efforts to streamline access to information and to reduce duplicate work.During my time at ACI I became a Camfil Certified Containment Specialist – Certified professional in identifying filter containment needs in medical, pharmaceutical, laboratory, and nuclear applications. Certification required several levels of testing and hands-on procedures that are conducted over several visits to the factory over the course of a year.

I was fortunate to work in both the Oregon and Western Washington commercial divisions of Airefco. The primary responsibility was to represent and support the full line of Carrier HVAC products to mechanical engineers and mechanical contractors. Key aspects of this job included fielding technical calls, calling on mechanical engineers and contractors, developing sales aids and pricing structures, managing project take offs and quoting, training and keeping staff abreast of changes in products and industry topics, and maintaining multiple manufacture relations.I attended Carrier’s sixteen-week Sales Engineer training in Syracuse, NY. This training is limited to engineers who have earned the opportunity to be trained by certified instructors to master HVAC technical sales. Courses included: Fundamentals of HVAC, Advanced Load Calculations, Application of Products, Product Comparisons, Selection Software, Business Ethics, Business Etiquette, and Presentation Skills.
