LEADERSHIP

---

 I am fortunate to have found my niche: finding, screening, vetting, and winning-over the “diamond in the rough placements” for my clients. Solving problems is my forte. Drawing from my U.S. Navy background as an Aerographer (searching for submarines), my attention to detail is second to none. What fuels me is showcasing candidates who will grow a company’s business, allowing them to scale  operations. My approach and focus are on the long-term strategy, supplementing corporate human resources and closing the deal. I work with a sense of urgency, maintain integrity, and am genuinely enthusiastic about each placement and have developed a reputation of being “the one who finds the unicorns.”
