About

I’m a results-driven Account Executive with 4+ years of experience owning full-cycle SaaS sales across SMB and Small-Medium enterprise accounts, with a consistent track record of exceeding quota and driving predictable revenue growth. My approach to sales is simple: → Be Curious - 2nd and 3rd level questioning → Understand the business behind the problem → Tie every solution to measurable impact & ROI I’m most effective in roles where I can combine structured process with strategic thinking—whether that’s building pipeline from scratch, navigating complex buying groups, or closing deals that require alignment across multiple stakeholders. Before sales, I served as a Military Police Officer in the United States Marine Corps. That experience shaped how I operate today—disciplined, accountable, and comfortable performing under pressure.
