We specialize in time critical air and ground logistics for customers who can’t afford delays. Our work begins where others fall short, delivering personalized service, relentless attention to detail, and execution when the stakes are highest. We anticipate challenges, respond immediately, and keep customers informed every step of the way across the U.S. and globally. My focus is opening new doors, building long term strategic relationships, and delivering tailored expedited transportation solutions. I work consultatively with partners to align the right mix of Next Flight Out NFO, expedited ground, air charter, and value added services to meet real world demands. I partner closely with operations to ensure every shipment is executed flawlessly from planning through delivery. If your organization values urgency, accountability, and logistics solutions built for high pressure environments, let’s connect.

I design and deliver customized logistics solutions for our asset-based carrier team across strategic locations, including ATL, CLT, RDU, JAX, MCO, and MEM. Leveraging our full-service brokerage team and expertise in cross-docking, warehousing, same-day delivery, and recurring shipments, I work closely with clients to understand their distinct challenges and develop tailored solutions that optimize efficiency and reduce costs. Through strong relationship-building, I ensure smooth execution and provide dependable, high-quality logistics solutions that meet clients' specific needs.

Reporting to the recently acquired MNX organization, I continue to bring passion and expanded capabilities to customers of UPS Express Critical. We are enhancing our international footprint, introducing Managed Transportation Services, and leveraging API and EDI to elevate customer interactions. Our evolution is marked by greater confidence and swifter communication, ensuring we meet and exceed customer expectations.
