My Work History
- JCPenney - Worked in the shoe department for about a year and became one of the top-selling shoe personnel within the store.
- Macy's - Starting working at Macy's in the Mens Suit Department in 1999 and continued working there throughout college.
- Sears - Once I graduated from the University of Louisville, I started my management career in retail at Sears as the Assistant Store Manager over Softlines. Within 6 months, I was promoted to the Hardline Manager over appliances and electronics. I left Sears in the summer of 2006 to help jump start a family business called Perfect Touch Interior Remodeling.
- J.P. Morgan Chase Bank—After working in remodeling for three and a half years, I started my banking career at Chase Bank. After about two years, I was promoted to the Small Business Specialist position. Throughout my time at Chase Bank, I became one of the Top Bankers in Investments, Deposits, Business Accounts, and Loans. I left Chase in 2016 to pursue my career in Business-to-Business Sales at Integrity One Technologies.
- Bass Pro/Cabela's—In August 2022, I resumed my career as the Senior Group Sales Manager at Cabela's. All of my education and business skills helped turn a broken store into a dominant player in our market. In 12 months, we went from last place in our region to second place. We improved our customer service scores and boosted our miscellaneous income. I performed well until February of this year, when the company decided to reorganize several positions, including mine. I was offered a severance package with an open door to return when a position became available.
Working as a Major Accounts Solutions Consultant, I learned how to understand an organization's processes and how to help them move information securely and conveniently. This led me to become a CEO Club and Presidents Club Winner.
- Sales—As a Major Accounts Solutions Consultant, I learned to understand an organization's processes and how to help them move information securely and conveniently. This led me to become a CEO Club and Presidents Club Winner.
- Prospecting—Although the company provided a contact list, it was only as good as the information provided. I was able to negotiate a LinkedIn Navigator license at the company's expense and update the prospects' contact information, title, and more. In addition, I was able to add loan maturity dates by creating a prospecting tool that automatically provided the lease end dates from the UCC filing for the State of Kentucky.
- Project Management—Once the contract was signed, I organized the delivery and install date for each location and provided training for the new products for the end users. I partnered with internal personnel to ensure 100% implementation and the client's full satisfaction.
Working in the banking industry has made me the business professional I am today. My personal and business banking experience gives me an advantage over most others. I grew my clientele, eventually putting me in the top 11% of bankers.
My success is credited to bringing in large deposits, investments, personal and business loans, and credit cards while providing an excellent customer experience!
Working as a part-time real estate agent, I worked with new home buyers and investors. I worked as a Realtor along with my ownership at Perfect Touch Interior Remodeling.
Partner of Marketing and Business Development
Before working in the banking industry, I was a Partner of Marketing and Business Development for Perfect Touch Interior Remodeling. My main responsibility was marketing our services and developing new business. These responsibilities included estimating projects, payroll, tax prep, purchasing jobsite materials, and working with subcontractors. My contributions towards our marketing efforts, allowed our business to survive during the 2008 financial crisis.
Better Social Branding has allowed me to become a better consultant, sales leader, and digital marketer. I opened this company in 2020 when the pandemic hit, to provide a backup plan for me and my family in case there was a layoff. Now specializing in SEO, online ads, content management, and website design, we are able to reduce the average digital marking spend by 30%.
