Summary

About Me & Why I Love Tech Sales I am a hard-working, coachable individual, stemming back to my Football days. Working well with others is how I roll while maintaining and exceeding expectations for my role. I am excited to continue SaaS sales and prove my worth. Life is an amazing journey, and I am thankful for the journey I am on. Ex-Collision Estimator turned ISR with 7+ years of previous sales experience. Although Estimating allowed me to develop "on the spot" rapport building, knowledge of personality types and traits, and an ability to provide the customer with a total sense of satisfaction. I'm looking to continue success in the SaaS industry, with my growth through preHIRED Science-Based Sales and ISR experience from Eventboost and Angi and Intuit QuickBooks.

God's led my steps my whole life, and I have faith he will continue.
