I’ve recently accepted an opportunity to join Hubspot as a Growth Specialist / Account Executive, bringing 10 years of Startup Tech Sales Experience to the #1 Global Software Company according to G2 in 2023. (https://www.hubspot.com/company-news/hubspot-named-1-global-software-company)

After graduating from Muskingum in 2012 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration, I decided to move to Houston, TX where I joined one of the fastest growing startups in the country in Shiftgig, quickly becoming the highest producing Rep and helping the company grow from Series A to Series C funding stages. (https://techcrunch.com/2017/01/17/shiftgig-raises-20m-more-to-connect-hourly-workers-with-open-jobs/amp/). Shortly after, I decided to move to New York City and help a couple other early stage startups in Jitjatjo, Instawork, and ANVYL before ultimately deciding to accept an opportunity of a lifetime from Hubspot.

Currently, I live in Southbury, Connecticut with my Wife, Victoria, my 7 month old daughter Giulia, and my Golden Retreiver, Teddy. Connecticut is perfect for our family because we’re just a quick train ride away from both NYC and Hubspot’s HQ in Boston.

The future is incredibly bright for this opportunity with Hubspot, as the first Muskingum Alumni to work for Hubspot and definitely not the last as this opens the door to recommend others for consideration to be able to advance their careers with one of the fastest growing, reputable companies in the country.

Looking back on my time at Muskingum where I played Football for Four Years while studying under one of the most influential people of my life in Mr. Gary Golden, I couldn’t be more thankful and proud of the time I was able to build a foundation for success in Sales in the corporate world. Not only was I able to head out into the world after graduation with the utmost confidence and ability to earn opportunity that would’ve have been possible otherwise, but I was also enjoyed networking with Alumni by meeting such influential figures as Vince Ekleberry in Houston.

People used to tell me that after Muskingum, you can go anywhere, and I’ve carried that with me carried that with me ever since!
