I currently own and operate Mission Coffee House in Plover. We are a small batch coffee roaster supplying freshbroasted coffee throughout Wisconsin, Upper Michigan, and central midwest. I own the company and have empowered several other small business owners to own and operate their own Mission Coffee House. We have large customers like Sentry World, small accounts, and everything in between. I am responsible for building the company and it's uninterrupted growth over the last 10 years. My keys to success are trust relationships, a powerful networking group, and community engagement. Most importantly is our purpose. Mission Coffee exists to sustain local communities through profitable fundraising and business to business mentorship.

Supplied top-tier frozen foods to a mix of commercial and residential clients.

I was a new business sales consultant. I started off as a facility sales representative and earned a president's club status my first full fiscal year. I then transitioned to uniform sales and earned pinnacle rep of the year and diamond level presidents club. I specialized in selling large target accounts such as Marathon Cheese, Kraft, Greenheck, County Materials, Crystal Finishing, and Marshfield Clinic.
