About

I have had the good fortune of being raised in two different enviroments; from South East Detroit to the Suburbs of Grosse Pointe. That gave me both the feeling of knowing what not having much feels like and the contrast of understanding what hard work can yield. From DPD to where I am at currently, I certainly would not have it any other way. As difficult as it was at times, the things I learned on the streets, gave me a focus to do what I do today This stays with me today. I am very passionate in every aspect in my life and this is certainly true when it comes to any and all things sales related. I have always tried learning from the best in any field I have chosen and that has done me well so far.
