I\u2019m a proud true Texan\u2026 born and raised in San Antonio.<\/p>\n
Two years after earning my degree in Computer Information Systems, working as a programmer for USAA Insurance Company, I discovered that my true passion lies in working with people and driving results through sales. This lead me to Bid D in 1985.<\/p>\n
Over the past four decades, I\u2019ve built and led high-performing sales teams, including 20 years co-owning a successful direct sales company with my wife, Deborah, and later serving as Vice President of Sales for two large organizations.<\/p>\n
Tried early retirement in 2021, but quickly realized that staying active, engaged, and connected to people is what truly energizes me \u2014 leading me back to my direct sales roots.<\/p>\n
In early 2022, I found my new home with CertaPro of North Texas, where I enjoy working alongside our owners, Gary & Tina Barton, and our AMAZING team to deliver outstanding experiences and create Raving Fans!!<\/p>\n
Outside of work, Deborah and I stay busy with gardening, healthy cooking and home renovation projects. We also love spending time with our fur babies \u2014 Tessy, our dog, and Patches, our cat.<\/p>\n
