Personal Introduction
I’ve never enjoyed writing or updating my résumé — I’ve always believed true success is built not on
titles, but on people. Surrounding yourself with the right team, motivating them to achieve what seems
impossible, and leading with integrity is what defines lasting impact.
Grit, fortitude, and passion are the most transferable skills I know — and they can ignite the best in
everyone around you.
I want to thank my wife and family for their unwavering support; without her, I couldn’t have achieved
what I have. She has been the bedrock of our family and the quiet force behind every milestone. I’m also
deeply grateful to my father-in-law and Bill Fegel for their mentorship, and to the many hardworking men
and women I’ve had the privilege to lead and work beside.
Below you will find a rundown. If you would like a more in-depth résumé, I invite you to visit my LinkedIn
