About me

Originally from Chicago, I relocated to Florida for work purposes in 2014. 

I am an exercise/fitness enthusiast (MMA, strongman, running), love living on the water in Tampa and live to travel

A committed member of the 5 am club, I have a relentless work ethic, literally wrote the book on time management (The Ultimate GOAL ACHIEVEMENT SYSTEM - available October 2025), and am in constant pursuit of self-improvement. 

To that end, I am consistently studying sales, learning new presentation technology (like Adobe Creative Cloud, Keynote) and the latest recruiting techniques (Sprint Recruiting) to remain a competitive force in my field.

I have a great deal of experience in Business Development & Leadership, and am a consummate out-of-the box thinker & practitioner with respect to both.

My record of success in Business Development includes prospecting & signing of small to large firms in a broad range of industries including Financial, Construction, Manufacturing, Legal & Technology. I have a wealth of experience at tradeshows & working industry events, as well.

In the Recruiting world, I have served as a Recruiter & Team Manager, both in an Agency, Staffing & Corporate context (Full Cycle/Full Desk). As a Team Manager, I practice Sprint Recruiting, a methodology that reduces the hiring cycle by avg 35%. The majority of my recruiting has involved IT, Financial, Sales, Logistics & Industrial

I believe that with regards to both Talent Acquisition & Business Development, you need to transcend the limited tactics of the rest of the field to connect with high-level decision makers to succeed. This is why I utilize unique tech & tactics that will best allow me to make direct & impactful contact with individuals & companies

With respect to production, I have consistently ranked #1 (never less than #2) everywhere I have served, be it BusDev or Recruiting

I also previously served as a Career Coach/Outplacement Exec for a Fortune 500 company as well as in a private capacity.  I created PowerPoint presentations that are still active in the company educational archives.  This work led to the pursuit of additional certifications, including Life Coaching with an emphasis on Personal Productivity & Time Management.  

I practice  a proprietary system called G.A.S. about which I wrote the upcoming book,  The Ultimate GOAL ACHIEVEMENT SYSTEM. The formula turns ordinary people into high achievers without the necessity of discipline & willpower as the main drivers of success.  It essentially transforms the daily grind into a fun and addicting style of win or lose daily game. Also, the 90 Day TOTAL ACCOUNTABILITY PLANNER (powered by G.A.S.) will be coming out concurrently with the release of Ultimate G.A.S.' in October '25

Upon graduating from Northern Illinois University, I jumped into the mortgage industry, where I began relentlessly cold-calling Accountants, Attorneys, Homebuilders and Realtors, ultimately establishing a substantial network of referral business. 

I eventually rose to rank of VP of Residential Lending. This position involved a great deal of leadership, sales & business development, in addition to both Recruiting & Training. To that end, I eventually I went on leverage those expriences to serve as a Corporate/Agency Recruiter & Career/Personal Productivity Coach

FF to today, I successfully operate as a #1 ranked Business Development Representative.
