Starting my first venture at the age of 20 showed me incredible highs and crushing lows (eating PB&J for every meal). 

From the grind of door to door sales, to building massive sales teams, to hitting the reset button and starting a career in tech sales, and finally co-founding FiveRings Marketing.

I learned a lot over the years and continue to grow both personally and professionally.

At any given moment, we're helping 40+ B2B companies grow sales.
