 "What I've discovered during twenty-eight years in sales, is that if you care enough about what you do you will develop a deeper level of understanding and appreciation that comes through diverse experience and curiosity. You can begin to see how things truly function from all angles, what influences success and how specifically to do things better. Successful placement and long term success requires a wholistic view and strategic sales perspective on the entire process. And this is what Taco Stand is all about. Bringing all the elements together, balancing the ingredients to a specific formula".

This ain't my first rodeo.

Twenty-eight years ago I started in sales, for no particular reason other than my desperate desire to buy my first car. The profession of Sales has since provided me with tremendous opportunities, from the shop floor to the boardroom, it's been the central driving force throughout my entire career. Now, after ten+ years selling to consumers, followed by ten+ years selling to major retailers, I've created a fulfilling and diverse body of work. Each and every position has presented a new perspectives and critical learnings of the entire business.

In 2011 I started my own Company 'Taco Stand', helping brands to not just penetrate and expand into major retail, but to do this more profitably and more sustainably.

There's many factors that contribute to a brands success, my particular area of expertise is in sales strategies, product development and relationship management. I believe long term success is driven by brand equity, and the net affect of making the right decisions viewed from this perspective. 

Changes in technology, increased competition, global insecurities, supply chain issues, strength of Brand - It's not the same market it was 28 years ago, or even 3 years ago. Every brand not only needs people who understand every step in the process, they need people who create opportunities in dynamic markets. My job is to know what to do, when to do it and how.
