About Me
As a competitive athlete in soccer and wrestling, I cultivated hard work, sacrifice, and dedication, which have been vital to my success.
My career began selling cell phones at a mall kiosk, where I became the top salesperson, leading to a management role overseeing 80 employees across 10 locations. After five years in retail, I joined a wireless B2B telecom distributor as their first employee, helping it become the nation’s leading distributor by managing sales, marketing, operations, and support.
I have also worked with startups to negotiate product placements with telecom carriers and have experience in sales and strategic partnerships. While studying finance at Purdue University, I developed a passion for entrepreneurship through acquisition, valuing the legacy of a founder's work.
In my personal life, I enjoy golf, weightlifting, cooking, and traveling with my wife, Blerina, as we explore new cultures.
