I have always been fascinated with equipment. I like efficiency and machines make that possible. Watching auctions growing up I always knew I wanted to be in some type of field that involved equipment and sales. Starting at a young age I would repair all types of equipment from atvs, vehicles, tractors, and trailers. Selling equipment always made me most happy because it represents a job well done. My greatest joy was buying low value or broken pieces of equipment and repairing them then marketing them to a new set of buyers. I like to build relationships with people that have drive and ability to get the job done. Since starting at Purplewave I have made sure to make good connections with everyone I work with including Auction Specialists, Territory Managers, Listing Operations, Titles, and Sales Coordinators. Customer relations are a key to my success as Auction Specialist and will also be very benificial as a Territory Manager. I have worked in the equipment industry since 2011 and have work around different types of equipment, customers, and businesses. I'm a upbeat guy and I like hearing what other guys are experiencing in the field. I would help the management team with listing issues, auction specialist field issues and customer issues. I would be great at helping ensure listings looked proper online and verify all components are added properly. I want to spread the word of Purple Wave throughout my territory.
