Business Development

Currently searching for new opportunities and just relocated to Portland, OR to further my career.  I am a highly motivated, results driven business professional with a strong desire to exceed expectations and deliver results.  I value hard work and thrive under pressure, but above all relish working smarter. I find problem solving fun and bring 10+ years of relevant work experience in operations, logistics, customer service, finance, sales, marketing and web development to the table.  I strive to continuously develop my business acumen, increase my knowledge and hone my skills so that I can deliver my best at all times.

Personally, the human connection, family, travel, food and great conversation defines me.  I'm outgoing, friendly and enjoy meeting new people.  I'm always ready for an adventure whether it be the great outdoors, some dark corner of a city or trying new food.  My outlook to life has been heavily inspired by a quote attributed to author Mark Twain - "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
