Career Summary and Professional Objectives

I am an experienced sales professional with over a decade working for Fortune 100 Companies

in the Insurance and Financial Services Industry. I have worked both the retail and wholesale

sides of the industry and possess a proven record of producing explosive growth in start up

wholesale territories. From the early stages of my career I have demonstrated an unmatched

ability to cultivate new relationships. I have been a part of over $1.6 billion in Financial Wholesale

transactions over my career. Today I seek a firm with quality products and ratings, who in turn

seek a seasoned sales professional to improve their bottom line sales in any geographic region.

In particular I would welcome a mid-west regional based opportunity, but will relocate for the right

opportunity.
