As a consumer sporting goods professional, I have always sought to find ways for my brands to stand alone in an often oversaturated market.  Gaining consumers attention has become increasingly challenging over the last decade. With more open manufacturing methods available to the general public and the ability to have a large presence in the online marketplaces, small brands can often pull major profit dollars away from legitimate companies. We are often forced to reevaluate our way of conducting day to day operations.  Those brands to slow to react often fall to an early demise. I specialize in hedging against these challenges. I have nearly 2 decades in consumer sporting goods. I am known as an uncompromised results driven leader. I would love to discuss with you on how I can help increase productivity and decrease inefficiencies within your brand.
