I deliver fast, develop others, and drive excellence across every search. I possess an optimistic world-view and upbeat attitude. I am able to build deep, personal connections easily. I am adaptable in stressful situations. I communicate clearly and effectively. I have a passion for serving others. I am growth-minded. I am a natural leader and influencer amongst peers. I am committed to being an A+ contributor (hint: I like winning) and forward thinker in a growth-based organization.My passions lie within human optimization (health, wellness, mindfulness, balance) and all sweaty activities/ anything sports related. When I turned 30, I challenged myself in powerlifting, where my 1 rep maxes came out to: bench - 185lbs, squat - 315lbs, and deadlift - 362lbs. I have a natural competitive drive that allows me to get better everyday (me vs. me) and I love learning new things. I also have a new found love for investing, mostly in the stock market as well as small health focused start ups (e.g. LMNT).In 2019, I happened upon executive recruiting. Little did I know that year would be a huge catalyst for my career. I couldn\'t imagine a role that is more aligned with my skillset. When I tell people what I do, they often respond with.\"that makes sense!\" I find this a major compliment. Today, I have recruited executives for high-growth SaaS companies for 7+ years and sit at the forefront of all things Software/AI - how cool!Values: Integrity, Humility, Authenticity, Excellence, Making a DifferenceMottos:\"Less, but better\"\"We go further together\"\"1% better everyday\"\"in sterquiliniis invenitur\"\"Poor leadership slows execution Great leadership multiplies it\"
