Customers Should Know:With over a decade of experience in the logistics industry across multiple modes (Parcel, LTL & Truckload) in multiple roles (operations, sales, training, & analytics), I bring a unique perspective to help customers solve supply chain problems. While part of the larger Unishippers/WWEX/GlobalTranz national brands, MFM Partners is an independently owned & operated franchise tasked with serving small-to-medium sized businesses. We aim to provide a more resilient supply chain and lowered shipping costs for those SMBs by leveraging our $5B in total transportation spend. Specifically for parcel & E-Commerce customers, Unishippers' unique partnership & annual revenue of $500M with UPS helps drive cost savings versus competitors like FedEx, USPS and DHL by eliminating common charges (i.e. peak delivery, fuel, residential, etc).About Me:I am originally born and raised in St. Louis, MO then attended the University of Missouri (M-I-Z!). After graduation in 2012, I started my career with Worldwide Express as an outside sales rep focusing on parcel & LTL customers. Not long after, I jumped on an opportunity to relocate to Chicago to work more intimately with our freight operations team where I learned the intricacies of the transportation marketplace.Then in 2017, another opportunity inside WWEX presented itself to relocate to Kansas City, MO. While in KC, I was fortunate to be an integral part of growing our dedicated truckload team (helped hire, train and retain ~150 employees). Most recently in 2022, the relationships and industry expertise have led to ownership equity in MFM Partners dba Unishippers.More personally...I love to spend time with family & friends, work on our improving or 1920s home, hang with our dog Maggie May and support my local community.
