My Passion

I’m passionate about people. I love getting to know others, hearing their stories and learning what makes them tick, whether that’s at work, at home or in the community. Everyone has different experiences, interests and passions, and I think those differences are a beautiful thing.

No two people are exactly alike, and that’s what makes working with people so interesting. I believe the sum is always greater than its parts, and I love seeing that happen when people bring their different strengths and perspectives together.

My Career

I joined the electrical industry in 2009, right after graduating from UNLV with a bachelor’s degree in Business Management. Go Rebels!

I started with a temporary lighting manufacturer, where I had the opportunity to work in everything from freight and logistics to operations and, eventually, sales. After the company was acquired in 2017, I became a sales manager within the parent company and eventually took responsibility for sales and rep management across a 17-state western region.

I joined Allied Group Sales in January 2020, and I’ve had the opportunity to learn something new from the knowledgeable people around me ever since.

As part of the Legrand team at AGS, I work with Wiremold, Cablofil, Pass & Seymour, On-Q and Connectrac and get to see firsthand the products, people and services behind each of these great brands. I’ve also had the chance to learn more about the other parts of the AGS business, and I’m proud to represent all of the manufacturers who have chosen to partner with us.

When I’m not being Principal, VP Sales

Most of my time outside of work revolves around my incredible wife, Whitney, and our three energetic kids, Brighton, Lydia and Elias.

Our calendar tends to involve a lot of hockey games, gymnastics and music lessons. When we’re not running from one activity to the next, I enjoy sports, serving at my church, CrossFit and working out. I also love to cook, travel with friends and family and play basketball. And while there may not always be much downtime with three kids, that’s exactly the way I like it.
