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 Bay 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 November 2026), and am in constant pursuit of self-improvement. 

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

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

With regards to Lead Gen, I utilize Instantly.ai & Apollo.ai to create hyper-focused lists and deliver high-conversion copy to elicit positive engagement at scale. By the third campaign, I typically have a near 70% open rate with a >10% response rate. My preferred CRM connection for seamless workflow & lead conversion is Hubspot

My record of success in Business Development includes prospecting & signing of small to large firms in a broad range of industries including Mortgage, IT, Healthcare & Staffing. I am particularly adept at recruiting Social Media influencers for product promotion. And 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 Growth Marketing & 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

Previously, I 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 with an emphasis on Personal Productivity & Time Management.  

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 experiences to serve as a Corporate/Agency Recruiter 

FF to today, I successfully operate as a Growth Marketer/Business Development Executive in the Health & Wellness field.
