I have made quite a few investments over the last decade or so and membership in Vistage is one that has had probably the most significant return for me. In terms of personal and professional growth, accountability to developing many amazing relationships with the other CEOs and business owners, my experience with Vistage has been a game changer for me. I'd highly recommend that any business owner or CEO that is really serious about growth, should absolutely check out Vistage.

I have had the privilege of being part of Park Place Technologies for over a decade now and it has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my professional life. From 2012 to 2019 I served in sales leadership roles and was blessed to work with some of the best individuals and teams that I have ever had the opportunity to work alongside. I left my role as Sr. Vice President in 2019 to start Spark Growth Strategies (which was acquired 3 years later by Class VI Partners) but I have continued on with Park Place as an Executive Shareholder and very optimistic about the ongoing potential of that business.

As Sr. VP of Channel and Strategic Accounts I was responsible for the company's indirect sales organization (Channel) and the company's Fortune 500 strategy (Strategic Accounts) which combined were over $130 Million annually. The channel consisted of many of the leading IT VAR, solution providers and data center providers. Park Place Technologies works closely with their partners to expand their lifecycle services and bring best in class infrastructure support solutions to their customers.

In my role as Sr. VP of Data Center and Cloud Services, I led our efforts within Park Place Technologies related to the Data Center and Cloud Service Provider market globally. I established a market strategy which led to many key, strategic wins and partnerships with some of the largest household names in the SaaS and IaaS space. That strategy now serves as a model for our approach with the CSP and Data Center Provider market which is the fastest growing segment in our industry currently.I lead our Data Center Services team which has been responsible for more than 46% year over year growth. The DCS team is focused on working with the territory and channel sales teams to win strategic service opportunities across the full IT lifecycle including Data Center and IT Asset relocation projects, IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) as well as implementation and upgrade projects.

Park Place Technologies is a leading provider of Datacenter Hardware Maintenance covering all major server, storage and network platforms. The company has a 22 year history of excellence and growth.As a part of the leadership team at Park Place Technologies, I am responsible for the company's expansion in the western region of the U.S. My team consists of business development, sales, account management and support individuals dedicated to providing the highest level of customer service and satisfaction in our industry.

CRM Pros was initially meant to be a "side hustle" while I was leading sales teams in the IT Services space. But it grew into a business that generated a significant amount of passive income which I was able to invest in other ventures. CRM Pros created one of the first Admin-On-Demand solutions for Salesforce and other CRM platforms as a way for companies to get the support they needed, when they needed it without having to go through lengthy engagements with other providers.

I joined SMS (later known as Curvature) shortly after a Private Equity investment enabled us to grow the company from $20MM in sales to over $170MM in just 7 years.My role was to build out and significantly expand the company's presence (sales and service) in the western US. The west went from a small part of the overall company revenue to one of the highest contributors in both revenue and profitability.

I founded Bright Future Solutions, LLC in 2002 as an IT and Telecom Services and Consulting firm focused specifically on the local healthcare market in the Denver area. The company worked with over 200 medical practices, surgery centers and specialty groups. We were an early leader in implementing EMR and Practice Management systems. In 2005, the company was acquired by a local telecommunications company and integrated into their IT and Healthcare segment.

Expanets was a company with over $1.2 Billion in annual revenue and over 1 Million customers nationwide. The company offered telecommunications hardware and services to the mid market. In my role as Strategic Accounts Manager, I covered a 14 state region and worked with over 350 account executives in the sales of equipment and services to augment our current customer offerings. My final year of sales in this position amounted to over $13 Million in incremental revenue for Expanets. I left this position to create Bright Future Solutions, an IT and Telecom services firm in the healthcare space.

Vector Technology was a provider of server and network hardware as well as professional services for medium to large businesses. I was responsible for sales of both hardware and services and stayed with the company from their second year in busienss until they were sold to Expanets at the end of 1999. In my role, I also worked on building relationships with companies such as Cisco, Microsoft and Citrix and gained quite a bit of experience in building successful partnerships and client relationships.

My first business... I started it when I was just 17 years old. I even had to get my parents to co-sign for a 2-bedroom apartment so I could set up an office as I was already producing over $10,000 in monthly profit but was too young to sign a lease on my own.

Started cold calling for this company when I was just 14 years old. Learned how to broker computer hardware and electronic components from coast to coast and by the time I was 17, I started my own business, Inland Empire Sales to do the same thing out of a 2-bedroom apartment.
