Before my professional experience in marketing and advertising I have worked as an air conditioning technician, an electrician, and a carpenter. I started my marketing career in 2007 working as a tour manager, executing events around the country. I have traveled to all of the United States except for Alaska. I have worked for a handful of agencies with clients like the U.S. Army, Geico Insurance, Kellogs, L.L. Bean, The Boy Scouts of America, Core Power Protein, International Trucks, and Kawasaki. I wore many hats in the tour manager role and it even led me to obtain my CDL Class A, driving semi trucks and larger vehicles on all of my tours.

After 15 years of touring experience I came into the office to plan and prepare for the largest tour that I had ever executed and that tour was with Kawasaki for the launch of their first ever sport side by side, the Teryx KRX. After 17 years of touring experience, my wife and I had our first born child. Soon after that experience I began my search for a professional position that kept me home much more than the road offered. After searching for several months, the perfect opportunity was presented in May of 2023. I landed a Senior Account Executive position within Cooperate Marketing, working alongside Kawasaki with an amazing team. I help the team in support of Kawasaki’s dealer network, and I mostly sell the Good Times Demo Tour (motorcycle demo tour) to dealers around the country, I manage the hospitality at all of the professional dirt bike racing events, and I help create marketing/advertising programs or events for Kawasaki dealers.

I have many years of experience riding dirt bikes and motorcycles, and driving sport side by sides. I have a well recognized certification to lead side by side demonstrations for participants, and I have my advanced motorcycle endorsement. Managing motorcycle, side by side, and Supercross (dirt bike racing) events for Kawasaki has helped give me a sound knowledge of Kawasaki’s products, a better grasp of their brand knowledge, and I have developed a great relationship with many Kawasaki personnel across different divisions. Having this experience helped me to be better equipped for the Cooperate position and the role has helped sharpen many other areas of business that I wasn’t executing while touring. I love working for Cooperate Marketing with my team, and I love working with a client that I align with through some of my passions.

My other passions include and are not limited to surfing, snowboarding, mountain biking, and climbing alpine mountains.
