All my life I have been able to sell. I first started selling products when I caddied for a local country club in 6th grade. Overtime I would build relationships with the members and offer to caddie for free for multiple rounds in return for their golf clubs. By doing this I could sell their clubs for much higher returns than caddying a few rounds. It was a win win since I made more, the member got free rounds and eventually a new set. My brain has always been hard wired to sell and work as hard as humanly possible.

In 2008 as a 8 year old in elementary school I would sell bags of chips, cookies, gum and fruit snacks to my fellow classmates and made over $1,000 throughout the school year just by being known as the "snacks kid".

In September of 2016, I was working one night at Golfsmith when they filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy and was able to resell used golf clubs totaling upwards to $15,000.

In 2018 I started my own shoe reselling page on Instagram and did $150,000 in total sales my first year. Many times I would have to establish trust with customers' parents over the phone convincing them to trust my page as their were zero reselling regulations on Instagram. Sold shoes out of Missouri and would ship anywhere in the world.

While trucking with Werner over the road to Family Dollar stores in 2020 I was able to convince store managers to stay open late at night to unload my touch freight boxes because I would connect them on the phone with other store managers from Family Dollars to vouch for me saying I am the fastest delivery driver to ever unload boxes and they would rather do it at night than come in at 5am and unload. This allowed me to empty more trailers than anyone has ever unloaded and miles driven in the span of one week, just 2 months into the job.

While trucking with Estes I averaged over 3,000 miles a week for multiple years by going from Saint Louis to Dallas or Saint Louis to Cleveland every night never wasting any second on my 11 hour drive clock.

In 2025, 2 months into the job at Crawford-Butz I became the first agent to ever write a policy for a semi truck. The first ever in Crawford-Butz's history, a company that has been established for over 65 years. To date I have written just over 300k in premium strictly writing transportation.

I love trucking and I love protecting truckers. Trucking is my passion and I feel like with the right guidance I could be a key player to an agency who wants to grow their transportation book of business. I have a lot of confidence and myself, dependable, extremely hard working, willing to learn, and once I learn something I can really scale it and turn it into a well running machine.

Sports especially if not at a pro level mean nothing, although I am aware of this it shows that when the lights are bright I don't run away from it. I embrace the spotlight and can perform when the pressure is high.

Accident free, totaling over 750,000 miles while operating a semi truck.
