About

I've spent my career at the intersection of high-volume sales and team development. At Grubhub, I manage teams of 10–15 Account Executives, owning end-to-end pipeline across roughly 2,000 monthly inbound leads.

My approach is to build repeatable processes, hire good people, and give them great coaching. My teams consistently exceed quota, and I've developed sales playbooks adopted across the broader org.

Beyond sales, I'm passionate about building things. I'm currently exploring AI-assisted development and have shipped several side projects for things I find interesting or useful — links above, and all feedback is welcome.
