Experience

1. Regional Sales Director - s Florida & Bahamas

   Cirrus

   Jul 2024 — Present · FL, US

   My days are about connecting with people who dream of flying, or who already live for it, and showing them how a Cirrus isn’t just an aircraft. It’s a way to chase what sets your soul on fire. I get to dive deep into what makes these planes so special (spoiler: it’s the design, the safety, the sheer joy of flying), and I love breaking it all down in a way that clicks, step by step, like a story that unfolds just right. That\'s what I do.Whether I’m out on the tarmac, in a meeting, or chatting with a client over coffee, I’m always on the hunt for like-minded people chasing big ideas, and possess a knack for making complex things feel simple and exciting.As Regional Sales Director, I’m out building relationships, closing deals, and guiding clients through the journey of owning a Cirrus - everything from their first demo flight to signing the dotted line. I manage the sales pipeline for South Florida and the Bahamas, strategizing with my Cirrus Training Centers and Referral Partners to hit our goals while making sure every client feels like they’re part of the Cirrus Life.It’s about listening, understanding what drives them, and tailoring the experience so they see how these aircraft fit into their lives. I get to collaborate with some of the sharpest minds in aviation on a daily basis, from marketing to engineering, to keep our region soaring. What fuels me is knowing I’m part of something bigger. Cirrus doesn’t just build incredible aircraft; they create a space where I can push myself to the absolute highest level of what I know I’m capable of. That’s why I’m here. That’s why I’m all in.If you’re ever in South Florida or the Bahamas and want to talk flying, dreams, or what it’s like to be part of a team that feels like family, let’s connect. I’m always up for a conversation that sparks something new.
