Summary

Highly motivated professional with extensive real world experience in entrepreneurship, sales, business development, and operations. I dropped out of college at age 19 (after a serious injury playing collegiate basketball) to found a gardening company, LifeCycle Gardens, LLC. Received two US Patents for product inventions sold by the company and attracted $450k in investment funds to launch. I am passionate, hard working and result oriented. I am a self –starter and quick learner. I’m a natural sales person and closer. My innate competitiveness and drive to be successful fuels me to always do my best and continuously work on myself through continued learning and development. In addition, as a former college athlete I love being apart of team with a common goal and I work well in a team environment.
