Born and raised in OH to a family that owned a small plumbing business. Hard work, irregular hours, long days and a focus on quality craftsmanship come naturally.
Finding my time after college focused on driving consumer demand for a challenger brand in the running industry, leveraging a strong background in team sports and endurance athletics. My approach is grounded in discipline, attention to detail, and a deep understanding of the competitive landscape. I focus on experiential activation, sports marketing, and campaign/project management.
