Where I've been
Most recent first.
Sales Supervisor
College Hunks Hauling Junk & Moving DFW
Call center agent to on-site estimator to supervisor in under four months. Managing the DFW sales team, packaging standardized processes, training reps, and learning large-scale franchise ops from the inside.
Founder & CEO
New Age Adaptation LLC
Built a full consulting framework — Growth Readiness Assessment, 90-day Streamline Sprint, Embedded Venture Partnership. Generated $1.2M+ in inbound leads across service industries in 2025. Currently partnering with businesses in PDR, bin cleaning, mobile detailing, and transport.
Freelance Marketing
Upwork & Direct Network
GBP optimization, Google & Facebook Ads, content, branding packages, email campaigns — everything. Built the skill stack that became NAA. Learned the hard way that handshake deals burn and over-delivering without structure costs you.
Sales Rep
Vivint Smart Home · Jacksonville, FL
Second stint with Vivint — relocated to Jacksonville for the summer season. Door-to-door consultative selling, home security systems, value-based solutions. Sharpened closing ability in an unfamiliar market.
Sales Rep
Vivint Smart Home · DFW → Cleveland, OH
First run with Vivint. Started in Dallas-Fort Worth, then moved to Cleveland for the summer. Learned door-to-door sales from scratch — how to close, how to handle rejection daily, and how to lead across multiple markets.
Lead Bartender
Moonlight Basin · Big Sky, MT
High-volume service operations for upscale clientele at a private resort. Customer relationships, front-of-house coordination, pressure management.
Hospitality & Food Service
Cane Rosso · Country Club · Multiple Kitchens
Started at 16 as a line cook, moved to cashier, then member services at a country club. Got into the restaurant side and never looked back. By 19, I was handling day-to-day finances, coordinating with corporate, managing employees twice my age, running front-of-house and back-of-house simultaneously, and helping coordinate catering and special events at the Ford Center. Cane Rosso is a multi-million dollar franchise — I learned what real operations look like from the inside before I ever started my own thing.

What the data says
I originally took the CareerExplorer assessment back in 2022 for a class at Collin College. I ended up writing an essay on why college was not the right path for me — especially in the era we are in now — and got a 95 with a note from my professor that said: “I hope to not see you back. Best of luck.”
The test is research-backed — it maps personality, interests, and workplace preferences against 800+ career paths using millions of data points. These are not self-reported strengths. They are computed from hundreds of behavioral questions scored against the full population.

About this test
CareerExplorer is built by Sokanu Interactive — grounded in Holland codes (RIASEC), Big Five personality traits, and workplace values research. When it says top 4.5%, that is out of every person who has ever taken it. The results validated what I already knew from experience — but seeing it in data made me trust the direction even more.
Let's talk.
Whether you run a service business, lead a corporate team, or are building something that needs an operator who thinks like an owner — I am always open to the right conversation.
