Biography

Regional Sales Manager

I was born and raised in Lebanon, MO and live there today with my wife, two sons, and daughter.I grew up fishing, hunting, and exploring the Missouri Ozark's outdoors, and now I enjoy sharing those activities with my wife and kids.We love spending time outdoors, especially if it involves fishing, food, or friends.

I’ve been in the marine industry since 2004 and understand the marine OEM and marine supplier environments and what challenges and opportunities present themselves in our industry.I started out as a Special Projects Manager with NMMA compliance responsibilities at Lowe Boats.After a year of doing that, I moved to Engineering Documentation Supervisor where I was responsible for bills of materials and the engineering change request process.In 2007, after completing my MBA from Missouri State University, I went into the sales side of the Lowe business.Over a 7 year period, I worked with our internal customer service, sales, warranty, parts, logistics, and planning team members to work with the Lowe dealer network and outside Brunswick sales force.

In 2014, after 10 years with Lowe Boats, I moved over and began working with Dowco Marine.As an Account Manager with Dowco, I worked with local marine OEM’s such as WhiteRiver Marine Group, Lowe Boats, G3 Boats, and many others.During my 3 plus years with Dowco, I was involved with acquiring new customers, bringing new products to market, and growing our existing businesses across our portfolio of innovative products.

With OEM and supplier experience in the marine industry since 2004, I can help solve problems and bring solutions to a wide range of business issues.I have additional experience in retail sales, banking, and manufacturing environments as well.I have unique perspective and can help grow business by connecting with others quickly.
