Recruiting Specialist striving to provide excellent customer service and lead a positive environment for those around me. I value learning from others, creating genuine connections and learning about other people's passions and journeys throughout their careers. Originally from Wisconsin (Go Pack Go!) and have lived in the Pacific Northwest, and currently reside in sunny Denver, CO!
A recruiting professional that comes with experience handling multiple roles simultaneously. I come with several years of experience in recruiting, managing teams/divisions, account management, and onsite management. Building and maintaining relationships with candidates, hiring managers, and colleagues for a successful recruiting process.
Takes the time to understand the organization's goals, culture, and specific hiring needs. This enables me to source and attract candidates who not only have the right skills but also fit well within the company
I'm a family man with a wonderful wife Nancy and two kids, Julia who's out of college and working for a programmatic ad tech company, and John Henry who's just graduated college and pursuing a career in the music industry. We live in CT and have a rescue dog "Stewie" and a rescue cat "Charlie Parker" and we have a lot of fun with both of those crazy animals. I probably work too much, I guess that's why I eventually opened my own Technology recruiting firm after working in a large one and then a medium-sized one, I really enjoy being part of the technology industry and trying to do the very best job of staffing and placement that we can do, constantly learning and trying to get better. But I try to balance the work with a lot of fun activities with family, friends, sports and travel.

I own a home in Lakewood, OH that keeps me busy outside of normal business hours. Married to my high school sweetheart and have proudly taken on the role of being Dad to our baby girl, Cecilia, since June 2023.
I graduated from Baldwin Wallace with a BA in Marketing and Communications and have been recruiting in the Information Technology space since 2015. Big fan of all the Cleveland area sports teams and consider myself a foodie (If you reside in the Cleveland, OH, I'd love to hear any restaurant recommendations you might have).
