History

I was born in 1991 and grew up in Murfreesboro before ultimately going to the University of Tennessee and Mississippi State University where I worked for their respective baseball teams. I knew I always wanted to be a college baseball coach...and I was likely well on my way. After my first year of grad school at Mississippi State, however, it dawned on me that this may not have the best work life balance. Don't get me wrong, I like to work hard, but I always wanted to be able to come home to my family rather than a hotel room on the road.

At the time, I was certainly at a crossroads in my life trying to figure out my purpose and career goals. I took a job out of grad school in Nashville. I worked at Uber in driver support and I loved it. I loved serving Uber drivers and realized I loved building relationships at work. At the same time, I realized I wasn't nearly technical or analytical enough to work at a tech powerhouse. I knew I loved building relationships, so sales was certainly the answer, right? I took a job selling freight with very high income potential. 80 cold calls a day, and 10 months later, I knew cold calling wasn't for me. Even if I was lucky enough to make a sale, there was no continuation of relationship past that point. I was at another crossroads with a Master's degree and no idea what I wanted to do with my life. But I knew 3 things.

I loved building relationships
I loved connecting others
I loved serving others

I began seeking out a career where I could do those things. I liked customer service, but it wasn't enough money and wasn't competitive enough for me. I liked sales, but it was surface level sales. This was when I stumbled upon the world of IT recruiting.

I was introduced to a company that I could not possibly brag enough about. The OtterBase office in Nashville was the perfect fit. I spent 8 amazing years at OtterBase but found myself most passionate about working with founders looking to drive change and make an impact. On the flip side, I gravitated towards the most passionate of engineers. A few months ago, I joined Integrity Power Search, a firm specializing in startup recruiting coast to coast with deep VC ties Whether you think you'll be at your company for 20 years, or you're actively looking for a new job to start tomorrow, I look forward to the opportunity to serve and connect you in Nashville, NYC, and SF.
