Personality/Achievements/Volunteer:

  • I have been told by scores of people throughout my life – I have the “IT” factor. This is not a prideful or egotistical comment. It is just a statement given to me by many throughout the entirety of my life.
  • In my previous space, $125,000-$175,000 in commissions is a good year for a Metals/Coin salesmen. I have W-2’s that I can provide showing several $300,000-$600,000/yr incomes earned by $3-$5 million in volume sales.
  • I excelled in music, the arts, sports, theatre, history and social skills. I journeyed through one of the toughest pipelines in the US Navy and learned a lot about myself and mental toughness.
  • Along with all the jobs and achievements listed, I have volunteered at numerous homeless shelters, I play guitar and sing for my local church, Life Church. I give guitar lessons to younger students. I have a close relationship with my family, both parents, twin sister and extended family. My wife and two kids (7 & 18 months) mean the world to me. I love supporting veterans and look forward to continuing to make an impact in my community.
  • I can assure you that connecting with people, working diligently, expertly closing deals and ferociously wanting to obtain the highest volume in the company is what I have always accomplished. If brought on to your distinguished team, my goal will be to become the best, most dynamic salesmen in the entire company.
