I'm a believer in the silver lining. 9 years ago I was cleaning hotel rooms in rural New Mexico, when I realized that I had a choice to make. Either I could pout about doing manual labor that didn't seem to make a difference, or I could make the most of my work and find a way to make my job more impactful.

Not only did I realize my work was meaningful in helping that business, but I also gained unique insights about our hotel guests (from their online reviews [or lack thereof], the trash left in their rooms, and their reservation preferences) that gave me confidence to pitch the owner on letting me create and lead a marketing campaign for the hotel. Over time the campaign grew to include all other businesses in that city and the city itself.

The campaign development process coupled with frontline employee insights from local business managers, some generous coaching from my biggest mentors, and the loving support/patience of my spouse, allowed me to forge the genesis of my career.

With the sponsorship of several key managers/mentors (you know who you are), I have been given the chance to deliver results and lead others in each of my roles.

Through hard work, creativity, process mastery, & grit, I have learned enough to be successful in significant roles at the companies listed in my experience. Now I get to lead and build a incredible team here at Podium.

This is getting too lengthy, so if a guy like me can go from cleaning hotel rooms to working in one of the fastest growing tech companies in the world, than anyone can find success in their career.
