My Story
Growing up as a three-sport athlete, I have always had an innate competitive instinct, intense work ethic, and a desire for success. When my athletic career ended and my professional career began, I sought to find a field where I could capitalize on these natural strengths. I found the answer to be sales.

My Background
Hello! I am a senior from Abilene, Texas studying Professional Selling and Financial Real Estate at Baylor University. I am passionate about improving myself daily, living out my faith boldly, and being able to provide a comfortable life for my family one day.
In my free time, I love weightlifting, golfing, hanging out with friends, and playing video games. My competitive instinct truly impacts both my personal and professional life!
I hope you enjoy learning more about me as you explore my site. Please use the "contact" section to reach out to me directly. I would appreciate the opportunity to get to know you better as well!
BBBA 2nd Place Overall
The BBBA engaged 78 students to select the correct definitions of business terms that surveyed sales professionals identified as most relevant to their careers. The scoring was based on speed and accuracy in defining the 100 terms.
Persuasive Presentation 2 - Complex Selling
Through pre-call research, students were tasked with finding a product or service that would fit the needs of a prospective Fortune 500 client. Then, students created a 90-120 second targeted video presentation designed to create interest with C-Suite level buyers and provide a reason to schedule a full sales call or follow-up.
Professional Skills
Outside Sales
My internship at Crown allowed me to pursue leads, write quotes, and close deals. I was the 1st Place Finisher in Crown's National Sales Internship Competition. During my internship, I quoted and reassigned opportunities totaling over $180,000 of future revenue for Crown. Furthermore, I processed over 300 leads by the end of the internship.
Coachable
My background in athletics has taught me the value of having a great coach that will show you some tough love. I am always seeking to learn from supervisors, colleagues, and friends. I believe every day is an opportunity to improve and to learn something new.
Servant Leadership
I have held leadership positions in various organizations, including my fraternity (Delta Tau Delta), my varsity sports teams, and Baylor ProSales (Fall Top Gun leadership team). These opportunities have all taught me one thing: leadership has nothing to do with a title/position. Leadership is about service to a greater cause, your team, and humbling yourself rather than promoting your status.
