This past year has been filled with ups, downs, & many lessons
Attempted to be a full time online sales trainer
Attempted to grow my family’s small business
Moved from Dallas, to Denver, to Columbus, to Austin
All that chasing to avoid confronting my ego
Thinking that retuning to corporate would mean I failed in my entrepreneurial efforts
I view this past year as the learning experience of a lifetime
I gained a new perspective on work, acquired useful skills, and found clarity on what I actually want to be doing
I’m filled with excitement and humility as I embark on a mission of becoming a great account executive!
21 applications, 6 rejections, 3 interviews, no offers.. yet :)

I started my career in tech without any connections or support at a leading software (SaaS) company, and it changed my life. I started out making around $50,000/yr as a sales development rep, and in under 4 years by the age of 26, I was promoted 6 times and made $302,000 as a Senior Account Executive.
I've created over 1k YouTube videos helping teach more people about this amazing career as I'm now on a mission to instill my years of industry expertise into others, allowing tech sales to change their lives just like it changed mine.
