I was tremendously successful in a tough market qualifying twice for the Presidents Club. In 2008, I joined RMA as a Search Executive. After battling the poor market in 2009, I had a stellar year in 2010 for RMA leading all billers and earned the Search Executive of the Year.

What do you love about recruiting?
Besides who a person marries or what religion they decide to follow, there is only one other decision as big as where they are going to work. Having the opportunity to impact a person’s career is a huge responsibility that can impact their family for generations. I enjoy bringing those opportunities to people.
What jobs do you most enjoy recruiting for?
Tough question! I would probably say I enjoy the sales leadership positions the most. Interacting with leaders of a company and getting to see what they envision for their company is always very enjoyable. Helping them deliver on that vision is a tremendous reward.
What do you enjoy doing while not working?
I am an outdoor enthusiast. While not working I spend the majority of my time around a body of water or in the woods. I am a lucky man that my family enjoys being outdoors as well, so as a family we get to spend quality time doing things we love.
Interesting/fun fact about yourself:
My family has 5 generations alive and well.
