ABOUT ME

I grew up in Portland, Oregon. I studied at the University of Oregon (GO DUCKS!) where I earned a bachelor’s degree in Business Education. In 2005, I met my beautiful and amazing wife, Tiffany, when we both worked as servers in the restaurant business. We have two sweet children—Harper, and Buck, — who keep us on our toes.

MY CAREER

I started my career as a territory manager for local dealer selling forklifts in the Portland-metro area. In 2009, I began working in storage system sales for an Oregon based company where I was a territory manager. I learned about pallet racking, conveyor systems, dock equipment, mezzanines, modular offices and more. I also learned a great deal about CAD, warehouse systems, problem solving, project management, and customer service. My job allowed me to travel around the country to help create turnkey systems for clients. In 2016, I started with Raymond Handling Concepts as a Storage & Automation Specialist covering SW Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Additionally, I am a materials handling and forklift expert in Portland. This position allows me to help cultivate a culture of excellence within our company. I love the passion I see with Raymond from top to bottom. I work with like-minded people who want to help our customers by bringing solutions to help grow their business. My goal is for our customers to know that we can help them with all their warehouse needs. The material handling industry is so rich with great people and industry knowledge. I am excited to be a part of something great and that’s who we are at Raymond.

A PERSONAL NOTE

When I’m not working, I love walking in the door and seeing my two kids give me those big smiles & hugs. It brings my wife and I so much joy that we are able to be parents. I am a foodie, so next time you see me, let’s go get something good to eat! I love to go on road trips and traveling. We recently took up paddle boarding and enjoy getting out on the water. Also, we love being active with our local church and being able to serve others. When time allows I love getting out to the golf course.
