• Following 15 plus years of both effective and consistent performance in the Finance and Advertising Industry in both Business Admin/Operations as well as Sales Management, I relocated back to the Valley..RGV..recently due to my Fiance's career opportunity, the sell of my book of business as an Energy Broker in the Deregulated Texas market, plus the extremely favorable opportunity to take over the Corpus Christi Regional Office for the largest Market Cap In-House Ad Agency in Texas, with both Print plus Digital Publications. I accepted what truly appeared a rare “fit” with a well known Ad Agency & still struggle with the "Freefall" in Revenue from our DFW & Houston markets. I never saw any solvency issues. Quite frankly, we had 11 straight quarter increases since I arrived. It literally appeared as if 2 different countries occupied the same State with the same Ad Products. You truly simply "never know". Plus, those type of issues are typically withheld from critical Personnel until the end it seems.

• So, we are back in OKC where my wife was blessed to return to her prior Nursing post at OK Heart Hospital, plus we have a terminal parent whom needs us and I'm glad to be present for her. **More specifically, I am ready to contribute in the most optimal manner in regards to a new challenge in my career.

Work Experience

Regional Manager

Texas Digital - Corpus Christi, TX

June 2020 to October 2022

Was initially hired as an Ad Exec in a Business to Business environment for the largest in house Ad Agency in the Southwest U.S., primarily selling in 3 different mediums which entailed Digital, Print, & Billboard Advertising. My skill set was optimal for both parties due to the extreme need of New Client Acquisition as well as the "Retention" depletion that TDN was experiencing when I accepted an offer in 2020. Fortunately, I had an exceptional 3rd & 4th Quarter (my personal best increase since 2012) for the firm, & was rather blessed to break TDN's New Business Sales "Annual" record for the year in merely 6 months of Business Development. Throughout all the Regions, it stands as TDN's highest New Biz Revenue ever. Soon afterwards, I was given the opportunity to head the Corpus Christi office & still be able to contribute in the field with the majority of existing clients.

• As a region, our Corpus office exceeded our Sales Objectives in 14 of 15 separate canvasses. I must say I had extremely talented Personnel on my team. However, apparently the Pandemic had an extremely negative impact elsewhere in the 2 Key metro areas which are Houston & Dallas. As a result, no one expected that company wide the firm had significant "solvency" issues, which was not the direction my Region in Corpus experienced. Ironically, in regards to overall Revenue as well as margin, my office had its very best year. I must say,that, myself plus most of the 15 Regional Managers were truly shocked TDN pulled out of all areas except a mere 12-15% of the areas once present, including Corpus Christi. District Sales Representative-DSR

Cox Communications Inc - Oklahoma City, OK

December 2017 to April 2020

-In charge of specific territories for the OKC METRO where both MFU-Apartments & SFU-Single Family Units; aka Housing are located. A qualified Demographic Data Model is followed for optimal production.

Effectiveness entails exceeding benchmarks In Total Revenue basically by obtaining New Client Acquisitions & existing customer upgrades for additional products from a limited line of essentially 4 products. Yet, 2 of these I personally feel are a Consumer Staples, a primary need; thus vast Revenue approaching any utility types as well as the Oil industry. The include Internet & Video/Cable.

Advertising Sales Director/owner

Sales Consultant & Agent

Reliant Energy - Harlingen, TX

May 2011 to December 2013

Powermark/Reliant Energy Residential & Business Sales Agent-Harlingen, TX Energy and Utilities

-Assigned area was South Padre to Weslaco, TX. Entailed primarily small to mid-size business acquisition in regards to the resources ( pricing) allocated. Strictly B2B cold calling, & I was fortunate to be effective, consistently exceeding monthly quotas, despite not being entirely fluent in Spanish. In 2011, I was on the 1st Sales Focus Team in Valley. Unfortunately, years later, I was part of the entire S. TX Layoff, that was labeled a "Reduction in Workforce". **( Power mark, a Reliant Broker with significant presence, made an offer of employment the next day. Besides my sales record, my Book of Business created value as a HR)

Analyst/Advisor

Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, Inc

July 2004 to April 2011

State:Texas Financial Services

-I became a Financial Advisor following the completion of my Series 7 & 66 License. During the 3rd year, I had acquired nearly $10 million to manage which was rather significant. I finally was able to get a position as a Portfolio Analyst which I had initially applied for, which entailed meeting firm standards for the suitability of holdings and return potential for private wealth management.

**Important to note that I later joined tens of thousands of other Advisors whom were left without a firm to work for due to the economic collapse of 2008-10. Sales Rep & Sales Mgr
