I developed a thirst for challenge at a young age. It first began in sports, the thrill of overcoming the challenges of a soccer match to achieve a win was incredible. This continued through an experience with a sibling and cancer in high school which gave me a different perspective on purpose and the world. I excelled at every challenge I faced and I had fun doing it. Of course the path was riddled with mistakes and risks that failed, but I never stopped learning. The pivotal point of recognition for me was in college. I knew I wanted to go into engineering, but the discipline was not so clear. Half way through my pre requisite courses I searched hard to find what discipline would translate into a challenge. I found it, I chose to go into mechanical engineering based on the fact that it was the hardest discipline to get accepted into! I loved it. Throughout my career I have continued to succeed by looking for and facing those challenges that present difficulty to achieving success. This is in my spirit and what drives me to be the results driven leader I am. This is my why. I have been a part of the electrical industry for 25 years. The last half of my time focused on the mission critical environment. My experience includes: enterprise sales, OEM, new business development, reseller channel, distributor, contractor, manufacturer’s representatives, end user, and all facets of omni channel marketing and sales in the mission critical industry. I am experienced in value add product, customer experience, services and system solution sales. I have been fortunate to be an educator and speaker for my peers in the industry. I utilize the tools I have learned from the Danaher Business System. The Danaher Business System is based on lean principles to apply to all aspects of the business. The end result is long term growth and profitability. I thrive on new challenges and opportunities to think outside the box for the success of an organization!
