The most important thing to now about me is that I am Passionate about being outdoors and high-performance products that allow me to connect to the environment further from cities and support. I love being outdoors and I love sales, so I am looking for an opportunity bridge the gap between my successful 10-year sales career and my passion for the outdoors. 

I am an experienced high-level sales professional with proven ability to work effectively with customers and peers and having the ability to develop effective and collaborative relationships. I have an excellent track record of exceeding sales goals and experience managing multiple sales teams through complex sales processes and initiatives. I have a history of working with C suite member and brokering large complex sales agreements including distribution agreements. I am equally comfortable in the field with end users that work or live in the harshest of environments around the Globe. I have been through Cold Weather Survival training while in the US Marine Corps as well as water survival school and ample training in both Deseret and Alpine environments. 

I have 10 years of terriotory management experience and over 20 years working in heavy industry including aviation and naval shipbuilding. In my current position I work for Total the 4th largest Energy company in the World. I market such innovated lubricants as Biohydran SE. This is a Biodegradable Hydraulic fluid that outperforms the standard lubricants in this space. I have been building the BC market with this in mind for the last 3 years. In my last position as Safety Specialist at Acklands Grainger I was responsible for managing the Safety Product Portfolio for the Lower Mainland BC Market including safety footwear. Responsible for the education and coaching of two sales teams consisting of 16 Account Manager and 8 Ackland’s branches throughout a territory worth 12 Million Dollars. These two positions give me a deeper understanding of the advancements in the environmental and advanced textile industries as well as our responsibility to protect our environment. I am seeking to align my personal and professional goals by working in the outdoor industry and with an organizations that are likeminded. 

As an avid backpacker, primarily hiking the back-country BC, Canada solo. I know how important our gear is to our comfort and safety. If you look at my LinkedIn and Instagram profiles you will see what I am passionate about sales, outdoors and Fitness. I appreciate your consideration.  


Our vision is simple, to bridge the gap, so that we are one united nation, where everyone is working together to make a better tomorrow. We encourage relationships to develop amongst our Patriots, First Responders, and Military because we all are serving in our own distinct capacities!
