CEO & Founder at Cribworks | Sales & Business Development | Go-To-Market Strategy | Passionate consultant & advisor helping businesses thrive

Over the last 15 years, I've helped commercial corporations, startups, and non-profits grow, foster new relationships, and crush their overall sales goals. 

From bringing whiteboard ideas to life to building a >$100M of new business, I've taken a very structured business development approach to growth. 

From my hands-on sales experience, working with both small and large companies, I learned a lot about what works and what doesn't. So in 2019, I started my own company. 

I believe building your business relies on a multitude of assets, both internally and externally focused. From your company differentiators to building account management plans, to strategic partnerships, to social selling, building you into a trusted advisor is where you should be. 

I've worked in marketing, business development, corporate strategy, and government affairs for several firms, including Signify (formerly Philips Lighting), Major League Rugby (MLR) franchise Old Glory DC, Royal Philips, Elbit Systems of America, Chenega Corporation and the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs within the United States Senate.

I also sit on the Board of Directors for the Society of American Military Engineers (SAME) in Washington DC, a non-profit organization that collaborates with both government and private sector on national security infrastructure challenges. 

I'm an active member throughout the local rugby community, recently serving as President of the Washington Irish Rugby Football Clubs, and work with local youth rugby clubs throughout the area. Lastly, I'm also active in various organizations such as Association for United States Army (AUSA), USA Rugby, Smart Cities Group, and others. 

I hold a Bachelor of Arts from Bates College in Maine and certifications from Shipley University in business development and capture management.

Driven individual focused on:
- Sales & Business Development
- Sales Process Improvement
- Pursuit & Capture Strategy
- Go-To-Market Strategy
- Competitive Analysis
- Win Strategies & Gap Analysis
- Management Consulting

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a pivotal figure in the Civil Rights movement. Today we celebrate and honor his legacy & service.

It has been a little more than 60 years since the passing of the 1963 Civil Rights Act, which Dr. King was instrumental in helping pass.

“Let us rise up tonight with greater readiness. Let us stand with a greater determination.

And let us move on in these powerful days, these days of challenge to make America what it ought to be.

We have an opportunity to make America a better nation.”

Excerpt from Dr. King's Promise Land Speech. April 4th, 1968 in Memphis, TN.
