Hi, I'm

Sales, Software, Stocks & Advisory

01. About Me

My professional focus is enterprise software salesโ€”but my true passion is building software. This combination means I understand both what enterprises need and how to actually build it.

๐Ÿ“

Grand Rapids, Michigan

This is where it all started. Northern Michigan summers on the lake, bonfires under the stars, fall leaves, and snowy winters shaped who I am. I played lacrosse and football in high school, and discovered my love for tech earlyโ€”running Java-based game servers that scaled to ~100 daily active users. Lifelong Detroit Lions fan ๐Ÿฆ

๐ŸŽ“

Central Michigan University 2014-2018

Studied Business Administration with a Marketing major and Professional Sales concentration. Graduated Cum Laude while playing Lacrosse ๐Ÿฅ for the Chippewasโ€”competing against Buffalo, Purdue, Pittsburgh, UConn, Minnesota, Indiana, West Virginia, Michigan State, and more. Fire Up Chips!

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Boston 2021-Present

Chose Boston over Chicagoโ€”Datadog over Salesforceโ€”and never looked back. Made the Seaport my home and fell in love with the city's character. Fenway, Southie, the North Endโ€”it's a beautiful city with real energy and growth. Patriots, Celtics, Bruins ๐Ÿˆ๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ’

๐Ÿถ

Datadog

Over two years, I saw thousands of architecture examplesโ€”from startups to Fortune 500s. Deep exposure to observability, monitoring, and how the best engineering teams build and scale infrastructure.

๐Ÿƒ

MongoDB

Supported some of the greatest dev & architecture teams in building, scaling, and maintaining incredibly important enterprise software platforms. Core focus on AI & advanced search with Fortune 10 healthcare organizations.
