Love to that experience working with a younger company in that startup phase, where everybody's kind of running around with their, you know, like a chicken with their head cut off. And when I left there was over 500 employees in the business had successfully sold for $875 million. I was actually the 99th employee to be hired by that company was there for about three years. That was with the startup, which is really, really exciting.


This was back when solid state drives were really starting to make a big push within storage systems and infrastructures. So started in the service based world moved over to more of your product and widget space, working for a company that focused on IT infrastructure. And just be yourself and present what you have.

But that really helped me gain the confidence required going forward as a sales professional to be able to talk to anyone without any sort of intimidation, or worry. What I really enjoyed about this is it gave me the confidence to talk to CTOs and CIOs at very large fortune 1000 companies, you know, if you'd have asked a 19 year old mark, if he would be confident ever being in front of somebody like that, I would say You're crazy. It's kind of a struggle sometimes when you're just getting into the sales world of where to start, what is the industry, what is the type of employment I'm looking for, and ended up starting off in more of a service based sales organization that was focused on project management and business analysis training. I've kind of always had that sales knack and interest in being involved as a sales professional and building my career around that.
