I am probably one of the more unique candidates that you will ever come across, in that I have worked in an industry for more than 20 years that you may not even know existed. I am one of a handful of people that have run sales for the international airship advertising industry, and I believe the individual that has grossed the most airship sales of anyone in the world. My career has given me experiences that most people would never get to experience, from standing on the roof of the main grandstand at Le Mans, to attending numerous Super Bowls, to experiencing the pit lane at the Indy 500. I have the open mindedness to put together exciting sports marketing and advertising programs for clients around the world, and am not constrained by traditional big company group think and restrictions.
More than 20 years developing aerial advertising campaigns integrated into major sports broadcasts across the globe. Clients include major Fortune 500 companies such as Goodyear, MetLife, AT&T, Anheuser-Busch.
Experience managing teams including Account Managers, operations personnel and Broadcast Camera Personnel.
Responsible for Sales and Marketing Budget in excess of $1 million annually.
Responsible for annual sales of $20 million.

I also enjoy reading, golf, and spending time with my 3 children.
