About

I’m a sales and business development professional with over a decade of experience helping organizations grow through strategy, partnership, and execution. My background spans industries — from biotech and advanced manufacturing to sustainability, technology, and industrial supply — giving me a cross-sector perspective on how great relationships drive great business. I specialize in building trust-based partnerships, managing complex accounts, and translating technical needs into real-world business outcomes. Whether it’s supporting C-suite initiatives or developing long-term customer strategies, I enjoy connecting people, products, and purpose to deliver measurable impact. Outside of work, I’m a proud dad, an avid outdoorsman, and a volunteer with my county’s Search and Rescue team — experiences that continually sharpen my adaptability, teamwork, and leadership under pressure.
