In my own words
— ChadResults and data-driven sales driver who continually adapts to discover insights that lead to opportunities in an evolving market.
My 20+ year career showcases a high level of recognition and respect in the Outdoor Industry (national & regional chains, specialty, and ecommerce) as a partner whose focus is on sustained, mutually beneficially, year-after-year growth. My consultative sales style showcases strong negotiation & problem-solving abilities. My experience includes forecasting for wholesale accounts, managing pre-season sales plans, presenting product lines, developing SMUs, and negotiating pricing.
