I have spent the vast majority of my life living and breathing everything automotive and motorsports related. Eventually, I turned the passion I had for cars into something I did for a living. I began my automotive industry journey as a part-time counter sales specialist and quickly worked my way up into store operations and management with O'Reilly Auto Parts. Eventually, my curiosity for the business side of the performance aftermarket industry was calling, and I answered in the form of a position at a privately owned, import performance parts supplier. I started as a customer service representative and was responsible for handling all support but after some time I transitioned into a wholesale role, which was something I enjoyed very much. I sharpened my skills in closing deals, brokering partnership agreements, and building sales overall here, but the COVID-19 pandemic caused a shift in the company I was working for, so a change was in order.In 2020 I began my tenure with Five Bar Motorsports as the "parts guy" and social media manager. I eventually outgrew this position and was appointed as the director of operations, which has been a challenge that I believe I have exceeded expectations tackling. From brokering a deal which has had Five Bar Motorsports sponsoring a class at FL2K for the past three years straight, building a YouTube channel from 0 to over 3,500 subscribers with purely organic content, to sponsoring both a Pro and Pro-Spec Formula Drift driver, I really have grown over the course of the last decade or so. Currently, I am loving handling partnerships and sponsorships at Tire Streets, an online tire retailer, and purveyor of the Accelera 615 Sport!I am looking forward to the next ten years and beyond; providing immense value and expertise wherever I may be.
