About

I’m currently Chief Revenue Officer at Ascend, where we help companies build the financial infrastructure behind planning, reporting, and performance management. Earlier in my career I co-founded Shift Group, which has helped thousands of former athletes and veterans transition into sales careers. I’m also the Author of two bestselling books on sales careers and hiring, including How to Get a Sales Job and How to Interview a Sales Rep. Lately I’ve been sharing more of my thinking publicly about work, money, and leverage. Specifically how people build careers, create ownership, and scale outcomes.
