About

After having success as a Manager in Retail, I left that role to find more success in Healthcare. I had success in DTC SaaS, so I built the B2B SaaS department. Once leaving that, I found success in a completely different SaaS industry. Now I am working to CREATE success in the startup world. Success doesn't follow me, I chase it. And I have the numbers to back it up. And I do all for my family- both the family I have now (fiancẽ, parents, siblings, etc) and the family I don't have yet (wife, kids, pets, etc).
