Indianapolis, Indiana, United States
I was born and raised in Indianapolis, IN, where I still currently live. I graduated from Park Tudor High School in 2009 and attended Purdue University for four years, before transferring to IUPUI where I finished my Organizational Leadership & Supervision Bachelor's Degree (2015). I grew up spending a lot of time outside, which has given me a great sense of curiosity and appreciation for nature. I always liked looking to see what was under a rock or log, in case there was a spider, newt, or other creature. I played either soccer or hockey every year for fifteen years growing up, which has helped to develop me into a strong team player who understands how a team member has to act in order to be successful. Playing a lot of sports also gave me a strong sense of competition. I went to church every week as a kid, and became very active in my high school days. Church instilled good morals and values in me, such as caring for others, selflessness, kindness, and a deep appreciation for history. I began racing dirtbikes in motocross and hare scramble events when I was 16. I transitioned to kart racing when I was 19, after breaking a few bones and realizing I was more competitive with four wheels on the ground as opposed to two! I still race karts and I began racing vintage sports cars when I was 21. I hope to someday compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, a 24 hour endurance race in France. I have 3 cats, Akira, Livia, and Penelope and a beautiful wife, Bridget. I thoroughly enjoy Legos, cars, history, travel, and my family.
Specialising in the CCE subset of Cat BCP equipment, I assist on assigning trade values to CCE equipment, support our Sales Reps, help to purchase Used Equipment, and help to manage the CCE UE inventory that we buy/sell/rent.
Shadow employees at all levels of each department in the company, to learn how each department functions within itself and with the other departments, and to learn how people do their jobs and we get the job done. It is important to me to understand what someone goes through at work and what kind of effort is required. The goal is to have exposure to all aspects of the company to better understand how it all works together, and why each part of the company exists.
