About

For more than 25 years, I’ve worked in the restaurant and hospitality industry from nearly every angle imaginable — starting in kitchens and restaurant operations, growing into management and training, and eventually moving into POS technology, payment systems, and large-scale hospitality deployments across the country. Today, I’m the owner of Salespoint Solutions LLC, where I help restaurants, food trucks, and small businesses improve operations through POS systems, merchant services, payment technology, and operational consulting. Over the years, I’ve worked nationwide installing and supporting systems for corporate dining facilities, restaurants, food service operations, and hospitality groups. That hands-on experience gave me a unique perspective: most businesses aren’t looking for the “most advanced” system — they’re looking for the right system for how they actually operate. That’s where I focus my work. I help businesses: • Lower payment processing costs • Improve transaction speed and customer flow • Select and optimize POS systems • Build scalable operational workflows • Simplify technology decisions • Improve reporting and operational visibility What separates me from many in the industry is that I approach every project from both an operational and technical standpoint. I understand what it’s like to run a busy kitchen, manage labor, handle customer flow, and operate under pressure — not just sell hardware or software. As Salespoint Solutions continues to grow, my focus is shifting toward helping local businesses throughout the Twin Cities area while continuing to build long-term partnerships in restaurant technology and merchant services. I’m passionate about helping operators make smarter technology decisions, reduce unnecessary costs, and build systems that truly support their business growth.
