I am a forward thinking professional that is a bit opinionated, and that means that I enjoy writing but not about myself! Still, it is important that you know a bit about me so here I go…
I believe that inside every person is an exciting and dynamic individual that is dying to get out. My mission as a leader and coach is to help transform average people into outstanding sales professionals, and develop sales organization’s leaders for tomorrow; my efforts as a blogger are an extension of that mission.
I have had an eclectic but successful career that spans several industries including, but not limited to military service, multi-level marketing, financial services, and proprietary education. I have experience in B2C and B2B sales as both an inside and outside sales person, and consider myself a bit of a telemarketing savant. During my career I have worked with hundreds of sales people, some good and some bad. The important thing is I have learned many lessons from all of them and it is my goal is to share them here on this site.
My education background includes a BA in Business and Economics from The Evergreen State College, a MBA from the University of Phoenix, and several corporate and military leadership programs. I am currently the Director of Recruitment for a major for profit college in Washington State where I manage the schools marketing and recruitment efforts in addition to the work I do as a coach.
I like to work hard and play harder. I have a wife Kristi, and a three year old daughter Sophia. Together we enjoy running, hiking, snowboarding, sea kayaking, 4-wheeling, camping, cycling, and karate. I also collect comic books and am a video game geek. I Love my Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii! On top of all that I am a voracious reader and I love to debate topics of all types.
Now that you know a bit about me, I hope you will enjoy this site. I will try to make my posts insightful, honest, and encouraging. I look forward to reading your comments. Please feel free to come visit me at my site: Sales Management 2.0

Thanks for reading!
