Currently responsible for all sales activities at Cometic Gasket. Most recently I ran point in establishing a plan-o-gram retail program with a major big box auto parts store. Currently working on three other big box retail store sales programs on special orders. Working with the Cometic team we grew Automotive & Powersports Distributor sales double digit growth year over year for the last ten years. We work with all the biggest names in traditional auto parts distribution as well as e-tailers too. I have also worked with the Cometic data team on Aces & Pies compliance. In doing business in todays world this is a must. From Powersports to Automotive to Harley Davidson we make gaskets for just about anything and everything with an engine. I have been with Cometic for a long time and have a very good understanding of what it takes to make gaskets from concept to finished product. I also possess material selection and application knowledge. I have launched several product lines over the years and work closely with the distribution channels as well as OEM type customers too. I am a motorcycle enthusiast and enjoy talking tech with high end clients and end users alike!

Advanced Sleeve was purchased by Cometic Gasket in 2009. I helped in sales working with the staff at Advanced to gain new distribution customers both in the USA and Internationally. Also provided tech support and helped in designing custom sleeves for the high performance racing markets. This business was sold in 2013 and I continued on working at Cometic Gasket.

At CP Pistons I was an East Coast sales rep. I focused primarily on distributor sales in the powersports and sport compact markets. I grew my customer base to include the likes of Moose Racing and Motovicity Distribution. I headed the team responsible for supplying Moose with a private label brand of piston kits for 2 & 4 stroke dirtbikes. I was also able to land notable customers in the Powersports distribution channels such as Tucker Rocky,Magnum Distributing and ATech Powersports. In the automotive sport compact world I brought on board Motovicity Distribution and several international CWD's. I was able to build my total sales to over $1MIL in just over five years.

Delkron was purchased by Cometic Gasket in 2010. I assisted with the re-launch of the Delkron product line later that year. I helped with dealer management and website management, fielded tech calls and worked with our distributors to make sure they had all the latest information on the product line. Worked with our catalog team and helped to produce a new Delkron catalog in 2011. In mid 2011 Jason Moses took over the Delkron MFG day to day operations and I stepped away still helping when needed.

Produced and promoted Monster Truck racing events in various venues across the midwest. Monster Nationals was the only Monster Truck racing series at the time to hold shows on concrete floors with no dirt. Theres nothing like the smell of methanol and burnt rubber from watching a 10,000lb monster truck doing a donut on concrete! I was responsible for sponsorship sales, venue management, event logistics and website maintenance. The Monster Nationals Series was sold after a tragic accident took the life of its founder, George Eisenhart JR in January 2009.
