In my own words

— Jeffrey

Extensive experience in the running industry and sport of Track & Field.

Over three years in run specialty retail at the level of Store Manager, while simultaneously working on a professional career in competitive racing for New Balance.

During these same years in retail, I was actively involved with Flotrack media, contributing to event coverage, race commentary, athlete interviews, and strategic planning with event organizers. Side projects over those years included event management for Boston's Run to Remember, Santa Barbara International Marathon, Adrian Martinez Track Classic, New Balance Boston Twilight Series, and Sir Walter Miler.

I brought brand representation to a new level in 2011 when I joined the Saucony Team as a Field Marketing Rep in the Mid-Atlantic Region for 2.5 years. Transitioning to ElliptiGO in 2014 allowed me to not only grow my responsibilities as a Territory Sales Manager, but also grow my network to most of the east coast markets, and further growing my audience to more areas of the industry.

I have an extensive network within this sport and industry that help me to stay involved and educated with this ever evolving global scene. This has taken me to my current position of Sports Performance Sales Manager where I work directly with performance athletes, coaches, and teams across the US.

My goals are to continue gaining experience at all levels of the sport and industry surrounding running and Track and Field. I have a passion for knowledge and will take on many challenges to advance my expertise and grow my professional success.

Specialties: Highly organized with a close attention to detail. Very approachable and great with personal interactions and professional relationships. Always eager to meet new people and explore opportunities through those relationships. Passionate about working hard towards goals and success, while always staying committed to my personal beliefs.
