As you can see from my resume (below), I have a wealth of experience in sales, marketing, internet and entrepreneurial ventures. Now, here is the type of guarantee that business owners dream of… I will work for FREE for 30 days and at the end of that time, if I have not proven to be a valuable asset to your company, increased awareness for your product/service and created valuable leads that turn into REVENUE, then we will part ways and you will have enjoyed 30 days of hard work, sales, marketing and business expertise….for FREE! I am so confident in my abilities, that I know you will want to hire or partner with me. Getting an idea off the ground, increasing your leads, creating a marketing strategy or retooling your business model can be challenging and exciting. Regardless of your situation, I can help you put into place a strategy that will take your business to the next level. In addition, if you have an area of expertise or knowledge about a specific niche, I can help you package, position and sell your knowledge to the global marketplace!



What is the catch? No catch, but here is the fine print:

1) The time I spend building a marketing strategy for your product/service is at my expense/risk, but any hard costs for marketing initiatives, sales tools or other expenses will be incurred by the business. If after the 30 days, you want to continue to use my services on a month to month basis, we can negotiate a consultant contract based on an hourly fee.
2) It cannot be anything illegal (I am a reserve police officer, so there is an obvious conflict!)
3) It can be any in any industry or line of work. I am talented, adaptable and have experience in a variety of industries including; Manufacturing, Medical devices, Restaurants/Hospitality, Business Services, Internet, Real Estate, Finance and Investments.
4) It can be either W2 or 1099 income.
5) I am happy to sign a written agreement, detailing the conditions with no risk to you and making it very “employer friendly.”

Thank you for taking a moment to learn more about my professional accomplishments and why I would be a great addition to your firm.

My first job out of college was an entry level sales position at Carpenter Technology (CRS). I experienced great success during my seven years at Carpenter, promoting three times, and becoming the youngest Branch Sales Manager in the 110 year history of the company. It was a difficult decision to leave Carpenter, but in order to promote further I would have to move to the corporate office in Reading, PA and was not willing to leave the West Coast.

Instead, I decided to pursue my MBA full-time at Pepperdine University, and a year later, I was approached by a professional recruiter to interview with the Medical division of Stryker (SYK). I accepted a Sales Manager position with Stryker and enjoyed tremendous success during my tenure, finishing in the top 20% (year 1) and top 5% (year 2) and earning $200-$285k annually. I was offered a promotion to a Marketing Manager position at the corporate office in Kalamazoo, MI, but the timing was not good for a move as I had just married and my wife and I were expecting our fist child.

Up until this point in my career, I had achieved success at each of the companies where I worked, but was frustrated because I had promoted as far as I could go without moving to the corporate office (Carpenter, Stryker). I have always had a strong sense for business and armed with the knowledge from my newly earned MBA, I decided to start my own venture. I founded Gael Investments in order to combine my interest in investment real estate (my first property, bought at age 26, was a 4-plex in which I lived in one unit and rented/managed the other units) with my desire to help other people who wanted to buy their first home or invest in rental properties. At the request of local real estate agents, I expanded the business and started a mortgage lending department. We enjoyed great success and my reputation as an ethical, business savvy mortgage broker led me to open a branch in the Palm Springs/Palm Desert area. I was approached by two very successful Realtors in Palm Desert who asked me to move to the desert area and as a result, Teradora Funding was opened and grew to 10 loan officers and $50 million in annual mortgage loans. The severe downturn in the real estate and mortgage markets, led to the closing of both Gael Investments and Teradora Funding.

I am currently looking to find an opportunity, where I can use my sales, marketing and internet expertise to help a high-growth company that is looking for someone who can deliver results. I have experience in many different areas of business including strategy, finance, operations, sales/marketing, which I can attribute to the various companies I have worked, along with being a business owner.

On a personal note, I am married with two boys (Connor, 4 and Aidan, 2 months) and a volunteer reserve Deputy with the Orange County Sheriff Department. I enjoy traveling, SCUBA diving, playing golf and various sports with my two sons. I currently reside in Huntington Beach, but I am open to moving within Southern California for the right opportunity.
