About Me:

Picture
Thank you for visiting my professional portfolio. I created this website because I have always found it hard to properly communicate one’s experience and past work on a piece a paper. Rather, I wanted to create an online portfolio so you can not only read but also watch and see me in action.

Hopefully, within these pages, you will come to find I am a serial entrepreneur with a passion for innovation and new technology; I am a high achieving, multi-tasker who is passionate about working in new environments and thrives on new challenges and experiences. I take the initiative, do as I say, and always deliver; traits desired in all forms of a relationship. Through these pages within, I believe you will find my claims demonstrated and proven to be true to their word.

More specifically, you will see my major strengths are in sales, the sales process, leadership/management, marketing, market research, and the start-up environment.  If you need any help in these areas, please do not hesitate to contact me.   In addition to consulting services, I sit on several Boards of Advisors and I’m well connected in the Valley so I may be able to introduce you to the appropriate party. In any case, feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn.

Personal Life:

The best gift this world could offer is to have a loving family and life filled with love and happiness. I am extremely blessed to be married to not only a beautiful woman but a beautiful soul.
