Intro

As a self-motivated and hard-working individual, I am driven to leverage my youth and determination for success to achieve my goals. I embarked on my professional journey with CPKC immediately after graduating high school and have since dedicated myself to the railway industry. This experience has equipped me with a wealth of skills in handling high-pressure situations amidst less-than-ideal conditions, and I am accustomed to working during all hours of the day and night, and in various weather conditions. Navigating through the challenges of the railway industry has instilled in me a high degree of personal independence and confidence. I believe these skills have helped me transfer into the sales industry where I plan to spend the rest of my career, As a lifelong competitor I thrive on the excitement and challenge of finding and helping customers achieve their goals so I can achieve mine.

Hobbies and Interests

An avid golfer, I strive to play 40-50 rounds a year. I value the discipline that golf instills and find it to be a great way to socialize with friends and family., Indoors, I dedicate a fair amount of time to playing the guitar, a skill I taught myself in middle school. I've always found it to be a rewarding hobby., My favorite place to be is outdoors, whether snowmobiling, hiking, or out on the lake., When outdoor activities aren't an option, I indulge in my fair share of sports-watching.
