Work History

Sales Manager

American Association of Owner Operators
06.2014 - Current

My role here is very simple. We market 36 states for insurance sales and commercial trucking fleet risk management. I specialize in managing the sales on the larger commercial fleets that could reach 100 plus trucks per operation. The risk management duties include business evaluation and safety training to help our customers improve their business practices to lower insurance costs.

Car Wash Owner

YAMM1 LLC
05.2010 - 03.2014

I started this company due to unfortunate circumstances between my father and his brother. Family business was never easy. I went out on my own and built my first car wash as an operator in New Albany, IN. I had struck a deal with Murphy Oil, who was operating all the gas stations at Wal Mart operations. If they had extra land I had first right of refusal to build car washes. I built two more tunnels one being in Hazard Kentucky and the last one was in Versailles Kentucky. This only furthered my education in our industry by seeing the other side as well. I unfortunately left this life behind in March of 2014 due to a divorce.

Sales Associate

Wagner Car Wash Company
07.2001 - 03.2010

I achieved many things and held many titles with this company. Upon Hiring I was put in charge of developing a chemical program as the company was only selling roughly $100k per year. I learned on the job and figured out real quick that cost per car was the winning solution. Brought on Turtle Wax and eventually Armor All. We became Armor All's largest distributor real quick with just Kentucky as a territory.


My next move was sales/service manager. This was a big jump. I managed our relationship's with Ryko, Jim Coleman Company, and Sonny's Car Wash Systems. As well I also handled all the ancillary suppliers for support equipment. My role was really all inclusive. I would sell the equipment first and foremost. I was heavily involved with site selection including financial forecasting. I worked with our architects and the equipment suppliers to integrate equipment and MEP requirements to complete the bid process. We had to GC many projects but regardless the supplier is responsible for bringing it all together and making the operation clean cars when finished. On top of this we also worked hand in hand with our customers to help maximize their marketing budget. By this time I was very well versed in just about every aspect of the distribution side of this business
