 What are 3 values you hold near and dear?

Family, Integrity, Authenticity


 How has sales become a life lesson?

“Working in sales is an example of why it is important to follow through on what you say you are going to do. It is also a lesson in knowing when it is time to listen instead of speak.”

My Parents: “They instilled values that have shaped me into the person I am today.”

My many colleagues and customers along the way: “This industry is filled with great people who are a wealth of knowledge. I have been fortunate enough to work with many great people. Each one has a unique path but all share the same passion for produce.”


 What words of wisdom do you have for the next generation?

 Did you come to your role by accident or design?

“I have been involved in business from an early age, selling whatever I could get my hands on. Only later did I realize the thrill of closing a deal was something I needed to chase daily. Produce found me; the dynamic marketplace and relationships with partners hooked me and I have never looked back.”


 If sales were an animal, what would it be?

“A shark—moving with speed, grace, and with a sense of purpose at all times.”


 What is the best advice you’ve received about your job/career?

“People buy from those they know and trust. Have the confidence to be candid. Make your opinion known and ask for what you want.”
