Top Management

Experience in sales, marketing, territory management, trade shows, field marketing, business development and retail management. I have a roll-up-the-sleeves, let's get it done attitude. Whether it’s working on a marketing plan, sales promotion, business idea, cleaning up after a marketing event, or breaking down cardboard at the office, it all needs to be done. I take pride in representing the company I work for in a professional manner. Being helpful and providing outstanding customer service to all I come in contact with, ensures they will have a great experience and have a positive mindset about the company I represent.

As a passionate cyclist, runner, snowboarder, outdoor enthusiast, and someone who lives a healthy active lifestyle, I have been fortunate to have worked for brands that allowed me to share my passion for these things. I’m a firm believer in that nothing happens to us. Everything happens because of the choices we make, and I’m exactly where I want to be in life. Creating new experiences, relocating to new cities, developing new relationships and changing life up to keep things interesting, are things I truly enjoy.

I’m self-motivated, adaptable, driven, dependable, meticulous, highly organized, and prefer clear communication. These qualities allow me to work very well independently as well as in a team. One of the first books my sister taught me to read was, The Little Engine That Could. Just like the little engine, I am always pushing myself to be better professionally, emotionally, and physically.

Proven ability to increase revenue, manage multiple projects at once, improve processes, and go above and beyond!

Let’s work together to create something great!
