BACKGROUND
I was born and raised in Toledo then started an across-the-US trek from Michigan to Colorado to Texas and then back to beautiful Ohio. I enjoyed all my travels and living in different ecosystems and would not have given up my travels for the world. I have been active in athletics my entire life starting in gymnastics then gravitating towards wrestling and martial arts. I had a teacher in High School who had a significant impact on me who I still stay in touch with.
CAREER HISTORY
I started recruiting at AIM Executive where a lot of endevis PDP recruiters cut their teeth. Then, I started my own company, which I ran for 9 years. I got tired of all the headaches of ownership and AIM had become endevis, so I came full-circle back to my roots.
NICHE/SUCCESS STORIES
My practice area is the hardest area to recruit on the planet (emerging technologies) but (being a nerd at heart) working in and staying abreast of new technologies excites me and keeps my ADD at bay.
ENDEVIS
Freedom to work on anything you like.
OUTSIDE OF WORK
I never sit still and am involved in almost all types of athletics and exercise daily. I enjoy all types of activities and have a goal to be better than average at everything I do. I am an active triathlete (until this year when everything got cancelled), avid mountain biker/racer, rock climber, cross-fitter – anything that gets my heart racing. I grow and cross-breed super-hot peppers and love to cook. I started making my own pasta this year and will never go back to store-bought. I like to challenge myself every year to learn a new skill and to continue to improve myself. Things I have done include: bonsai, glass-blowing, wood-working and art. I also bake the best chocolate-chip cookies on the planet!
FAVORITES
- I enjoy reading autobiographies and recommend Trump’s Art of the Deal, Jack Welch’s Winning, Steve Jobs is a must and Andre Agasse’s bio is a shocker.
- I watch very little TV (maybe 10 hours a week) and spend almost no time on social media.
- I prefer to be out doing rather than watching.
