Business and Company Details:
I come from a 10 year career in hospitality managing hotels in the Marriott, IHG, and Hyatt portfolio with a company out of Dallas. At 33 I decided to make a change and went into the payments/merchant services industry and since then have worked at several large companies, now am a regional sales director for EPSG Payments leading all of Oklahoma, Wichita Falls, and Wichita KS. I'm passionate about serving others and building genuine relationships. Others come first is my mantra, how can I help make someone's day better. Usually it starts with simply listening, I feel like I am good at not just hearing, but truly understanding what others are telling me. I'm a musician - played piano since I was 5, trumpet all the way through college at OU, and was vocal music minor at OU as well as a music education major. My wife is an exceptional elementary school music teacher in Edmond Oklahoma. We have 2 kids, Beckett (6) and Malakai (8) - they are boys to the core and keep us very entertained.
 
My education, training and business experience
Graduated top of my class from Pryor High School in 2003, Went to OU in Norman and graduated with a BA in Liberal Studies but only graduated fully after I worked in hotels/restaurants for about 6-7 years. I've worked since I was 15 years old helping my mom out with her business in Pryor. I am involved in Sandler Sales Training and have learned a tremendous amount through that program. Through working with several payment processors I am trained on many Point of Sale solutions and other technology to help businesses get paid quicker and easier than ever, and I know how to truly save businesses money and take good care of them long term. Since 2018 I've been a leader in the payments industry, currently have been with EPSG for almost 2 years and am a regional sales director.
 
When I m not working, I enjoy .
Hiking, board games, sports video games, live sporting events and concerts, travelling. My wife and I are doing a bucket list Europe trip beginning of June and will visit Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris, Zurich, and the Swiss Alps over 12 days and multiple trains.
