Someone higher up the food chain finally realized it was a silly title! It's the same job with a new name. Building and growing our Account Management team to exceed client expectations every day.

If you think my new title sounds like the punchline from an episode of The Office, you're not alone. It's silly but better than Account Manager Manager! I'm excited to bring our current account managers under a single leadership umbrella & continue to build out a fully staffed team. It's 2025 and my horoscope said it's time for a new adventure at work & a great time to focus on getting healthy. Since I'm typing this while eating my third roll of Smarties, guess I'm just doing the work thing! Wish me luck as I embark on my newest challenge. I'm sure nothing but laughter & smiles await me.

Just in case you didn't hear, there was an acquisition. I'm going to keep my fingers crossed that I can continue the trend of fewer long boring conference calls and more fun people to talk with. So many crazy, unique personalities all crammed into one department. I'm currently the person in charge of the spinner for the most insane game of Twister anyone has ever played. A little too close for comfort but you can't stop smiling. Left hand blue.

You know sometimes when you sit around talking with your friends about all the things you used to be able to do that you can't do anymore because you're older and hopefully a smidge wiser? Well I figured what the heck, I need a challenge. I know I can't run a mile in 8 minutes any more or do 10 pull ups. I can't go out partying till 2 am and still make it to work at 8 am looking like I slept for 12 hours. What can I try that will make me feel like I'm 25 again? So I went back to sales with a side of everything else(marketing, database management, etc). Let me tell you, it worked! I went from sitting on long boring management conference calls to non stop action and adventure. It's like the Pirates of the Carribbean ride at Disney World. I know what's going to happen but it's still fun to watch the pirate chase the "bar maid" around the barrel a few times.

I found a genie in a lamp, and while most people wish for nonsense, I wished to be the Manager of Inside Sales at SmartSource. It's kinda like Disney World...we make magic happen. No joke, if you're looking for any sort of technology rental, we have it or can get it for your trade shows and events. Don't ask how...a magician never reveals their secrets.

Rentsys was a computer and audiovisual rental company specializing initially in computer and server rentals(you know back in the olden days when they were expensive) which morphed into a trade show and events services company. In 2009 SmartSource recognized my vast knowledge of exhibitor needs and knowing that they could no longer do business without my expertise, they purchased Rentsys...just kidding, I'm sure it had something to do with a P&L statement and a lot of cash exchanging hands.
