First off, thank you for continuing on and learning more about me personally. Speaking directly with each business owner allows me to reveal one of my best attributes, and that's being real. My philosophy is to educate a potential client of the particulars of factoring, understand the industry itself and listen, or better yet, understand the reason we've been contacted. What better way to inform you and at the same time introduce our program and its benefits? Offering proof that Universal Funding is the right fit for a business's needs is a win, win, win (for Universal, me and most importantly you). I love the challenge that each and every day, like each and every deal, is different. It's gratifying to see a relationship come together and to know I played a key role in that is a pretty cool feeling.

Background

As for my background…as an athletic relations manager for Nike several years ago, I had the opportunity of working with many high profile athletes; Tiger Woods, Kevin Garnett, and Scotty Pippin, to name a few. Interacting with people of their caliber has sharpened my ability to interact with individuals that are unlike the average person (by means of how to approach and how to be approached). I've learned to let down my guard, open up and just be real…heck they're only people right? I have also been a staffing specialist for companies such as Intel, Tech Systems and Electric Lightwave. I have placed a multitude of high profile individuals, upper management and even the average Joe into the workplace. So, for small and large companies alike, I have a pretty good understanding of people and their needs.

Community Involvement

Giving back to our community is an important practice for any business and I believe in donating time and money to the good causes in our area. I recently organized a charity golf tournament benefitting the Children's Miracle Network in partnership with Express Personnel. Universal gives back to our community in many ways, but recently through volunteering for the local food bank's turkey drive and sponsorship of the Transitions golf tournament last spring to benefit homeless women and children.

Personal

One of my greatest passions is golf; it's hard for me to believe, but I once shot a 69. Travel and real estate are my other passions, managing a few properties in my spare time.
