 I love being a salesman.  My clients describe me as proactive, honest, a risk taker, committed, enthusiastic and a leader.  I strive to learn something new every day, continue to challenge myself and others and go the extra mile for friends, family and clients.  My goals are to provide ideas, present opportunities and bring value to others.  I am driven by sense of accomplishment and doing things non one else can do.  My philosophy is to be the best at what I do and have fun doing it.
