In My Own Words
Passionate about helping brands connect with consumers through experiential company branded brick & mortar retail stores, which I believe are the "window to the soul of the brand" and the most engaging way a consumer can connect with brands.
I have 15+ years experience building retail (and other) businesses from A - Z, and love it all - Location site selection, lease negotiation, pro forma financial creation & analysis, store design, project management, store build-out, the store opening and then creating a path for store success and financial profitability through operational oversight, management and sales training.
I love what I do and looking to combine these skills with my other passions in outdoor action sports.
