My Passion 

Every project is unique, and that’s one of the things I enjoy most about the lighting business. I like digging into bid documents, understanding the scope of a project and figuring out what it will take to put together the right solution.

I also enjoy the collaborative side of the work. Every day brings a new set of challenges, and I like working with customers, manufacturers and the AGS team to find the best solutions. There’s something satisfying about taking a complicated project and helping bring all the pieces together.

My Role 

As an Inside Sales associate with AGS, my primary responsibility is quoting lighting and controls projects. That means paying attention to the details, understanding what the customer needs and making sure we respond accurately and on time.

I’ve spent 28 years in the construction industry, so I understand how important timing and communication are. Customers are often working against tight schedules, and I take pride in being responsive, meeting deadlines and making their jobs easier.

My Career

I began my career working for a general contractor in Colorado that specialized in federal government renovation projects throughout the United States. Those projects included extensive electrical and mechanical scopes and gave me a strong foundation in how construction projects come together.

From there, I moved into electrical contracting with a company in Phoenix. I started as a Project Engineer and worked my way up to Project Manager. It was during that time that I developed an interest in lighting and controls.

That experience eventually brought me to Allied Group Sales, where I joined the lighting division. Today, I get to combine my construction background and project experience with my interest in lighting and controls to help AGS customers find the right solutions for their projects.

When I’m not working with Lighting & Controls 

I’m a proud husband and father of two kids who are in high school and college. My wife and I have been married for 27 years, and family is a big part of my life.

Golf has been a lifelong passion since I was 8 years old. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to attend several PGA events, including tournaments at Castle Pines and Cherry Hills in Colorado, Southern Hills in Oklahoma and, most recently, the U.S. Open in Brookline, Massachusetts. I’ve also lost count of how many times I’ve attended the famed Phoenix Open.

When I’m not following golf, I enjoy yard work, walking the greenbelt with my wife and spending time with family and friends. Sometimes the best way to spend a day is simply getting outside and enjoying the people around you.
