my story
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, however, 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. Again, I reached a 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. Over a year later, I'm extremely blessed to come into the office and work with a team that feels like family where I'm 100% confident in it's ability to operate on full integrity. That being said, it's also fun pushing each other to make as much money and serve as many people as humanly possible. I admit, I'm still relatively junior in this industry. That being said, I promise to serve you with full transparency throughout the process. 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 to Nashville.
