I am the Partner, VP of Sales at Vida HR! My professional journey started 37 years ago when I began selling books door-to-door with the Southwestern Company. Within my second year, I transitioned into a Sales Manager role, a position I've been happily serving in ever since, fostering sales growth and building successful teams. I find great fulfillment in meeting new people and exploring ways to provide them with long-term solutions. From early on, I learned that by helping clients and empowering my team to succeed, I also achieve success. I'm humbled and grateful that this approach has enabled me to cultivate enduring relationships with clients throughout my career.

My Predictive Index Profile is “Maverick” which means I've been blessed, or perhaps cursed depending on who you ask, with a high level of energy, proactiveness, and optimism, qualities that have served our company well.
A little about me:
I've lived in 19 states, resided in 50 houses, and traveled to 32 countries, so you could say I'm from "all over." This diverse exposure to different places, people, and cultures has shaped my perspective and instilled in me a deep appreciation for various viewpoints. Additionally, I'm immensely enthusiastic about the delicious foods I've encountered during my travels. Being an avid outdoorsman, I enjoy activities such as skiing, fly fishing, camping, biking, surfing behind our boat, and simply being in nature. My passion for the outdoors began in childhood when my dad introduced me to the adventures of Colorado. Consequently, as soon as I could, I made Colorado my home, moving here with my wife over 30 years ago.
Thirty years ago, I married the love of my life, Kelly, and together we have three adult children who reside here in Fort Collins. Our family bond is strong, and we enjoy engaging in outdoor adventures together. We purposefully participate in activities our children enjoy, ensuring our family continues to have fun together for years to come. Kelly has made significant strides in growing a non-profit organization called Life for the Innocent, which aids children rescued from human trafficking across Asia. I'm honored to serve on the board of directors for this organization, which has facilitated over 30,000 adoptions into forever families. Once again, I believe I've married above my station. Kelly and I share a passion for travel and eagerly anticipate exploring many more countries together.
