As a manufacturer’s representative, principal and agency president for 32 years, I have gained considerable retail industry experience. In my career, I have cultivated a wide network of business relationships and helped vendors facilitate partnerships with several top-tier US retailers.
I have been fortunate to have represented some of the most respected brands in the world. Those clients include; Thermos, Brown Jordan, Kaz, Honeywell, Fiskars, Holson Burnes, Tasco, Silstar, Philips, Power Sentry, Dynacraft, T-Fal, Levolor, RAVE Sports, Real Flame, Remington, simplehuman, Mirro, WearEver, Anchor Hocking, Tramontina, ICON Health and Fitness, Lignetics, TrueTimber, Kandi America and Publications International.
Developing go-to market strategies, leveraging an extensive network, opening communication lines, and connecting vendors to aggressive sales teams are my expertise and passion. As result, I established ALIGN Sales Consulting in January of 2020 with the purpose of assisting suppliers looking to launch or expand retail distribution.
I am an ardent supporter and have served on the board of the Boomer Esiason Foundation. BEF supports the effort to raise money to help find a cure for Cystic Fibrosis. My involvement with BEF includes recruiting corporate partners to join the cause.
My home is in Pinehurst, Texas where I live with my wife, Monette. I have one son, Connor, who is an attorney with Hogan Lovells in Houston, Texas.
My hobbies and interests include golf, fishing, hunting, my Yellow Lab, and the Green Bay Packers.
