My Passion 

I love my job.

After all these years in the electrical industry, I still get excited about what I do. One of the things I enjoy most is seeing new people come into the industry. I love talking with them, learning what they’re interested in and introducing them to the different products and opportunities that are out there.

I also believe work should be fun. I try not to take myself too seriously, and I do my best to bring some energy, enthusiasm and a little fun to every day.

My Role 

I manage the business across Las Vegas and Northwestern Arizona, working with distributors and contractors on all kinds of projects.

I’m competitive by nature, and when I see an opportunity, I like to chase it. I can get pretty intense when there’s a goal in front of me, but I think that’s part of what keeps the job interesting.

At the end of the day, it’s about building relationships, finding opportunities and helping our customers and manufacturers succeed.

My Career

I started my career in the electrical industry in 1978 with Essco Wholesale Electric, where I eventually became Vice President of Operations.

In 1990, I relocated to Las Vegas and made a career change into the manufacturer’s representative side of the business. I joined Allied Group Sales in 2006 and have been covering the Las Vegas market and Northwestern Arizona ever since.

That’s a lot of years in the electrical industry, but I’m still having fun and still finding something new to learn.

When I’m not being an Account Manager 

I love the desert, especially when there’s a little horsepower involved.

You’ll find me enjoying everything from UTVs to Jeeps, and right now I’m restoring a 1983 CJ5 that I found as a barn find. It’s a project, to put it mildly, but that’s part of the fun.

I’m also a pilot. I’ve been flying since I was 16 and hold a private pilot license.

I love anything with an engine, a little adventure and a chance to go fast.

LOVE GOING FAST!
