The results his teams are known for
- A market built from nothing. The Annapolis and Washington market started as a greenfield. Under his leadership it grew to a $200M+ revenue operation with an $84M+ compensation budget and $6M+ in yearly net profit.
- Youngest Regional President. The CEO picked him over 10 internal candidates. His region later finished #1 nationally with back-to-back 112% quota attainment.
- New revenue without new headcount. He was on the team that built a Value-Added Rebate division from manufacturer and vendor partnerships, worth $20M+ a year with no added staff.
- A subscription that stuck. With the other regional presidents he helped launch the Tech Protect subscription, which became the company’s #3 monthly recurring revenue line, with churn down 29% and net revenue retention up 20%.
- Pilot first, then scale. A 12-month mobile-showroom events pilot in his territory became a channel the company ran in 40 markets, each worth $150K to $2M a year. A cross-regional incentive redesign he worked on cleared $100M+ of inventory with no markdowns and no promotions.
- As a seller. He was the company’s #1 national sales producer seven years running; later, teams he led doubled market penetration across 20+ territories in 16 months and turned an average region into the #1-ranked one with a 300% profitability swing.
How he works
His own one-line version: fix the sales team at the micro level and fix the revenue architecture at the macro level. The pattern repeats through his record — try an idea in his own market, prove it with the unit economics, take it to leadership, then roll it out with the other regional presidents. He also holds a simple speed standard: a revenue problem that shows up on Monday should have a rebuilt plan running by Friday.
