Co-Founder & Partner

Just your everyday guy who went to college to play baseball, didn't go pro, got a useless degree and had no idea what to do. Fell into recruiting by happenstance, realized that this business was heavily predicated on relationships, started building them, and haven't looked back since.

In the interim, I've been redeemed through faith, been sober from drugs and alcohol since Memorial Day Weekend 2018 and I am approaching four years of abstinence from gambling (11/28/20). I love where I've come to, but as I often say, if God would have shown me what I'd have to go through (jail, courts, the 12 steps, owning mistakes, having to learn who I am sober, etc.) to get where I am, I'd have never done it. But in His grace, he knew it was best for me to only see one step at a time, not the whole staircase.

Today, my life is wonderful! I have my faith, my relationships with my family are true and authentic, I've lost 80 lbs. through fitness, and own a recruiting firm, a sales/recruiting coaching business, and most recently, I've just built an online recruiting course called the Recruiter BILLprint!
