Our Salesforce Service Offering Capabilities, Strategic Account Planning, and Centric’s Salesforce Partnership
Work Experience
I came to Centric in 2022 after 9 years with Enterprise, including the last 7 as a Senior Account Executive with their Fleet Consulting division. During this time I worked as our regional subject matter expert on our Lightning Salesforce instance, supporting my Account Executive peers and Regional Managers with best practices around using the Salesforce platform.
My time consulting and solutions for business owners across multiple industries prepared me to make the jump to the consulting industry in 2022. My training and development as a sales professional aligned with my current role and contacts, managing our Salesforce relationships and developing our brand story within Salesforce’s internal sales teams.
Get to Know Me
As of October of 2022, my wife Ashley and I became new parents to our son, Jackson. As lifetime Clevelanders, Ashley and I love to explore new restaurants and breweries popping up all over town, and spend much of our time on the waters of Lake Erie during the summer.
Personally, I love to stay active through sports. Golf, Baseball (wood bat), Soccer, and Volleyball are just a few of the sports I still actively play throughout the year. I captained the baseball team while at Denison University near Columbus, OH, where I also received my degree in Economics.
What’s the best trip you’ve ever taken and why?
The best trip I have ever taken was traveling with my wife Ashley for our one-year anniversary, through Banff, Canada as well as Vancouver.
This trip stands out specifically because of one particular hike – “Devils Thumb” near Lake Louise- that took us 10 miles and 8,500 feet up through clouds, narrow trails with steep drop-offs, vertical scrambling ascents, and ended with the most incredible view of rolling mountains, forest and glaciers.
The tremendous perspective that you gain from overlooking that much of our beautiful planet, paired with the incredible feeling of accomplishment for being part of the 2% that make it to the top, truly created an UNMATCHED experience for both of us.
What’s your favorite book and why?
My favorite book has to be “Can’t Hurt Me” by David Goggins. It is an autobiography about his life as a former Navy Seal with a difficult upbringing, that will leave you questioning everything that you thought was difficult or impossible in your own life.
When I’m feeling tired, unmotivated, or doubt what I’m capable of, I now think about how this man could push his mind and body to incredible limits through his years of physical and psychological training. Think waking up early for work is hard?… try doing Navy Seal “Hell Week” three times and running a marathon in the sand on a broken leg!
What’s your hidden talent?
I was a fairly good painter and drawer in my youth and young adulthood. I actually interned with a strategy and design firm out of SoHo New York one summer when I was in college based on my portfolio.
Alas, business was my eventual calling, but I have never lost the eye for design and creativity. Competition of any kind is my motivator and fuels my energy and drive.
