I helped start this digital marketing agency, landed our first book of clients, and helped scale the company to over 7 figures. Sold my stake in the company and am no longer connected to the agency.

I sold HR Software optimized for small and medium businesses. I was the fastest account executive to hit quota the company had ever hired. I arrived an hour before everyone, and sometimes left an hour after. It was a grind to be honest. I was starting NOMATIC in my free time, became distracted by the idea it might actually work, and left on December 10th, the last “working day” of my life.
