I am from Bristol, Tennessee. Married up, and have an incredible wife, Andrea, we have three children, Henry, Hunter, and Emersyn. My family and I live on six acres in the mountains of East TN. We love being outside and gardening, which typically leads to being overrun with veggies every summer.
Began my career at BSN Sports when I was 22 years old, and I have a proven track record of success as a sales manager and sales professional. In my first two years, the thing I am most proud of is having zero turnover on my sales team while exceeding sales targets by an average of 15% each year. This accomplishment reflects my ability to effectively lead and motivate my team toward achieving exceptional results.
One of my key strengths lies in my talent for identifying and hiring top-notch sales representatives. I have successfully recruited and trained multiple reps who are well on their way to being high-performing members of the team. This demonstrates my keen eye for talent and my ability to nurture and develop individuals to their fullest potential.
Building strong relationships is at the core of my sales approach. I excel at establishing rapport and trust with clients, which enables me to understand their needs and provide tailored solutions. Moreover, I am adept at fostering a collaborative and supportive environment within my team, encouraging open communication and teamwork.
In my first year as a sales manager, I was recognized as one of the top three managers out of a pool of over 100. I was and am very humbled by that recognition and believe it shows my dedication, leadership skills, and ability to drive exceptional performance.
As a sales professional, I consistently surpassed sales targets, beating the plan every year. That success showcases my ability to consistently deliver results, adapt to changing market conditions, and exceed expectations.
Overall, my accomplishments as a sales manager and sales professional highlight my expertise in building and leading successful sales teams, fostering strong relationships, and consistently achieving outstanding sales performance. I am a dedicated, creative, and friendly professional who is committed to driving growth and delivering exceptional results in the sales field.
I have been very blessed to work for a great company that has given my family many opportunities. While I am very thankful for the success, I am most thankful for the relationships that have been built!
