Having gone through multiple service industry and retail management positions, I am currently on the Computer Hardware and Networking + IT Helpdesk track at Year Up. I have spent 7+ years managing and problem solving with my fellow colleagues. My years of experience have taught me the value in building relationships of trust and accountability as well as applying that in our workspace to promote a productive environment. I believe the more one experiences failure, the more well-versed one is to deal with all sorts of scenarios; growing up with multiple familiar responsibilities as well as juggling a full time job plus my education has taught me the value of discipline and patience in furthering oneself. I consider myself a people person and am committed to giving back. I consider it my personal religion to spread positivity and empathy in this world that is tainted with darkness. Perception is everything in a world in which no one way is correct and that is why it is always important to analyze both sides of every coin. I aspire to connect with as many perspectives I can in my journey in order to broaden my wisdom along with improving myself and promoting betterment in our community and nation. Please feel free to knock on my LinkedIn door and introduce me to new perspectives and ways I can better myself. My hope for us is to collectively climb closer to our goals and invoke a positive shift in the world, in both our daily and professional lives as we, together, are the FUTURE. I look forward to hearing from all of you!

I run The Bygone Hotel. In 2021, my wife & I bought this forgotten roadside motor lodge and transformed it into the Texas Hill Country’s most beloved escape. We partner with leaders & wellness whisperers to craft transcendent retreats. Tell us your goals, and we'll manifest the magic. I also dabble in real estate and startup investing. Prior to buying and renovating The Bygone, I ran two VC-backed startups. In 2011, I co-founded Apartment List. Think Tinder for apartments. Swipe through cute spots, go on tours, fall in love. >$100m raised, independent, fast-growing & profitable. In 2016, I launched an apartment hotel brand, The Guild. Early locations crushed. We raised $50M & launched a dozen more. It was an epic journey, but we went down swinging in 2023. More details on TheGuild.co.

Curious about how regional carriers work? Thinking about exploring one? I’ve worked with three of them. From Fortune 500 companies to startups, I’ve seen just about everything in parcel shipping. Whether it’s helping fast-growing brands break away from national carriers, increasing margins, or solving complex logistics challenges, I’m passionate about making shipping faster, more predictable, and more cost-effective. Whether you’re tired of mid-year surcharges, looking to improve your time in transit, or just want to understand your options, I’m here to help. (And I love DM’s 😉) Fun facts about me: • My prospecting efforts have gotten me a seat at the table with: a U.S. Vice President, U.S. Senator, the CEO of one of the largest hotel chains in the world, and a former supermodel. • I read 82 books last year! • I created and manage a (locally) viral Instagram page that surpassed 350,000 unique visitors in one month. ⸻ About Me With over a decade of successful sales experience selling to C and VP level at Fortune 500 companies, I am passionate about being a part of an organization that has a clear go-to-market strategy and believes that collaboration is key to winning. My ideal culture invests in the success of their sales team by consistently upskilling, trusts their sales team to be “their own CEO” when managing their deals, but understands winning is a team sport. What are my numbers? 2021 – 117% of quota. Surpassed goal in October. 2020 – 101% of quota (revenue goal not adjusted for COVID) 2019 – 102% of quota 2018 – 417% of quota 2017 – 250% of quota I’ve been fortunate to mentor others and work with senior leadership to develop not only sales strategy but company-wide strategy. I have experience working in Series A, Series E, and publicly traded organizations and am comfortable leading and communicating effectively in a matrix environment as well as independently executing organizational objectives. I’ve been remote-first since 2012, so I can be trusted to be accountable, drive growth, and collaborate with little oversight. I look forward to speaking with you.
