In the world of security technology today, there are many choices of products to use for solution-solving, and many of these products do the same thing minus a few tweaks. I believe to be successful, one needs to rely on relationships and trust. I work very hard to build trust through honesty and delivering or finding the correct message in a timely manner. Even if the right product isn’t in my portfolio, I will deliver the correct information to the customer asking for help. Teamwork is also important to me, and I believe in letting my customers know the company I work for is available to them at any time to assist with finding the right solution. I enjoy the work I do, along with the conversations I have daily with everyone in my network. Treating people with respect, being respectful, and being the best person I can be every day is a mode I operate in.

15 years in the Air Force set me on my path in the Security Industry. In my 15 years of service, I spent time in Law Enforcement, Security Operations, and Personnel Protection Operations. Near the end of my AF career, I learned through on-the-job training … Access Control. After the Air Force, I worked as an Installer and Project Manager for an Integrator, working on Access Control and Video Surveillance projects for Government and Commercial Customers. Next was a 13-year stint with a Higher Education institution, where I managed the Access Control, Video Surveillance, and Mechanical Lock Shop office. Here, I honed my management and sales skills while managing a 3M Budget and establishing design standards for electronic security systems. In 2014, I took a position with Multi-Tech Reps as a sales engineer working on layout and design of video surveillance and access control systems while building relationships with customers in our target markets. For the past 5 years, I have managed the operational efforts of the St. Louis and Kansas City offices for MTR. I thrive in deadline-driven environments and have excellent product knowledge, presentation, and team-building skills. My mission is to provide the best security solutions for our customers and manufacturers and to contribute to the growth and success of Multi-Tech Reps … My MTR Motto is One Team – One Fight.

Personal Information:

My wife of 10 years, Lisa, and I live in the St. Louis area. We enjoy spending time with our family and friends, all while spoiling our six grandkids. We both attend the Indy 500 and at least one NASCAR race each year. Our dog, Lily, brings us laughter every day, and each of our kids has dogs as well, who we adore. We have two sons and a daughter, who are married and each with a growing family.

Each month, we have one Sunday set aside for Family Breakfast, where Lisa and I cook for the family and enjoy the stories told and the laughter/roar of grandkids pitter-pattering about the house. We were both raised that “family is everything,” and we certainly instill and live by that motto, too. Personally, I also enjoy hunting, fishing, and cooking on the grill or smoker.
