Husband, father, CPG expert, triathlete, and entrepreneur with a passion for personal development and mentoring others in life and business. I have worked with startups to medium sized businesses and have managed all aspects of the business. I'm most experienced in sales management and strategy, specifically in the CPG space. I've worked closely with buyers from Target, Nordstrom, Meijer, Bed Bath & Beyond, Barnes & Noble, and others, negotiating national contracts worth $millions of revenue. I've also led sales efforts outside the USA, including Canada, Mexico, South America, Europe, and APAC. In additional to retail sales, I have led ecommerce (DTC) both via my own website and global Amazon marketplaces. I'll teach you how you can scale your DTC business without jeopardizing your other sales channels. And finally, I help founders and CEOs truly lead their organizations. I know what it feels like to have the weight of the entire organization on your shoulders, in addition to responsibilities outside of work. It can be a stressful, lonely path. That's why I'm here–to help coach you through the process and experience success at work and in life.
