I officially joined Dante and Brisk Consulting in August of 2005, just before the finalization of the acquisition of AT&T by SBC. Just prior to joining Brisk I was working for SBC as a Distributor Manager, a representative of SBC responsible for managing and supporting the activities of distributors such as Brisk Consulting. I joined Brisk because Dante and I have talked for years about how a sales company should be run and how customers should be treated and this was the perfect opportunity to work together and put in place the dreams we had.

My sales background has always been linked to the communications field. I started by selling copiers in Pittsburgh. I came to Ohio in 1981 as a Sales Manager for ComDoc and then Ohio Business Machines. I then bought and ran a printing company for several years. In 1992 I joined Cellular One where I learned about wireless service. I started as a sales representative and eventually managed a sales team. From there I went to Global Crossing as a National Account Manager and acquired a background in Long Distance, Local, and Data wireline services. I was recruited by SBC as a Distributor Manager because of my extensive and successful sales and business background. Along the way I earned several awards and honors at every company I worked for.

A few months after I joined Brisk, the purchase of AT&T was finalized. We felt we had to make some very important decisions about our business model. We “bit the bullet” and made changes that have helped us to become advocates for our customers and that’s exactly what I was hoping we would be able to do.

Like Dante, I am also excited about the endless opportunities developing in the telecom marketplace. We are definitely in the right place at the right time, and I think we have the right business model for success.

In my personal life I have been happily married to Sue for 20+ years now. I am a member of Perry Christian Church. I enjoy golfing in the summer and bowling in the winter, and time spent with Sue and our “doggie” Fazu at our get-away cabin.
