Scaler of high performing sales teams within companies large and small. Former Googler, Automattician, Microsoft Director and IBMer. Lover of Mizzou Sports and author of Knights of Legend, the Dark Harp, and the parable of work tale The Day Life Breaks. I believe in the concept of the American Dream, spending time with children is important, baseball is the National Pastime, sales culture matters, and that telling stories remains an important part of our morals and values.
