Passionate about entrepreneurship, sales, learning, and making the world a better place. I fell in love with entrepreneurship, startups, and sales early after founding my first company at 13, Revolution Apparel Co. After teaching myself how to trademark the logo, we built a brand and designed, printed, and sold custom-printed skateboards and apparel. The painting, landscaping, snow removal, odd-jobs, etc. "companies" during high school further scratched my entrepreneurial itch. While attending UW-Madison full time, I co-founded a mobile app company that built SLAP (Sounds Like A Plan), which solved the problems associated with mobile, group communication and event coordination/execution. SLAP Business Edition provided data analytics for venues to maximize revenue, track customer engagement and reach more customers through affinity marketing. Through several other ventures, spanning from event planning and music promotion companies (Voltaic) to grass-roots marketing companies, I've developed a passion for start-ups.I helped build a rapidly-growing, successful insurance company called QuickInsured (QI). QuickInsured is a tech-powered independent agency, that caters to clients that prefer a more cutting-edge, digital approach to insurance. At QI, I became passionate about building scalable sales models and teams. After seeing a gap in the insurance industry to drive sales, while at QI and later Nationwide Insurance, I co-founded and built AssuredLeads. AssuredLeads was a lead gen company and sales enablement SaaS platform that increased sales for commercial insurance companies. The platform offered a suite of tools: high-quality sales leads, CRM, training/coaching, lead optimization, data analytics, and more. Extremely proud to have been nominated, by our wonderful team, and selected as a 2019 Madison Best Place to Work! After closing down AssuredLeads, I moved to the Bay Area to further develop my SaaS experience and get back to my roots in sales. I've had the privilege to work with extremely talented people and some of the best companies. I've learned a ton from the previous ventures I've been a part of, and try to implement these learnings to iterate faster.I'm always looking for opportunities to learn and grow professionally, as well as help others. I'm currently an advisor to several early-stage startups, and enjoy giving back/paying it forward, while learning in the process.I am interested in potential volunteer, Board, or Advisory roles.University of Wisconsin-Madison grad with a Bachelors in Economics. Go Badgers!!!
