Russ T. Patterson Email & Phone Number

I joined the US Army at the age of 17. Was deployed with the 2nd Infantry Division near the DMZ in Korea a couple years later. Used the Army college fund and my savings to put myself through Illinois State University. In a wild departure from the exciting life of a soldier stationed in a foreign country, I chose to pursue a degree in … accounting.Even joined a Big 8 accounting firm - Coopers and Lybrand. My top clients included Playboy Enterprises, Wilson Sporting Goods and the Salvation Army. Yet, I was unfulfilled. Perhaps accounting was not my passion …Then, I discovered sales. Or, I should say that sales discovered me. One of my accounting clients offered me the opportunity to join their sales force. My true passion was uncovered. I believe in the American dream. And I believe that Entrepreneurs, Business Owners, and their employees represent the very best of America. It is the engine that drives our economy. It is the engine that drives innovation. I view my 20+ years in sales and leadership as the opportunity to take clients the next level.About Puzzle HRPuzzleHR is reinventing Human Resource and Administrative Service Outsourcing.Many companies struggle with the complexities associated with running a growing business.
