Business Unit and Job Title
Sales Engineer with Intelli-Hood
What does your job entail?
As a member of a highly focused sales team I am responsible for identifying, tracking, quoting, and closing all New Construction opportunities across all Eastern U.S. Intelli-Hood® markets. I strive to stay as technically focused as possible so as to educate potential clients and specifiers to the benefits of our Demand Control Kitchen Ventilation system and technology, Intelli-Hood®.
What is your personal philosophy?
We only get one shot at life. We are all on this earth together at this very moment, for a reason. Respect everyone. Be kind to everyone.
What did you do before coming to Melink?
I was an IT Recruiter for just shy of 6 years. Essentially, I “networked” for a living.
What is your favorite aspect of working at Melink?
Leadership listens. People listen. Everyone wants to help as everyone wants to succeed especially on the fringe of going to an ESOP. It’s all about working hard and enjoying the ride while remaining laser line focused on proving insanely great service while changing the world one building at a time.
What do you like to do in your time off?
I’m a disciplined workout nut. I truly enjoy running and, while I’m not super excited when going to the gym, I love the feeling once I am done. Ultimately, I need to keep moving. Anything outside like hiking, camping, exploring new state parks, traveling with my fiancé Kelly. I’m truly up for any adventure and challenge.
Tell us something that might surprise us about you.
Despite always having to stay busy, waking up early, running, etc…I also love to sleep. I’m definitely not the type who says, “I’ll sleep when I’m dead”.
What are you most proud of?
I try to count my blessings and appreciate everything in my life. I’d say I am proud of my ability to stay mindful, thankful and levelheaded in times of stress and doubt.
What are your hopes for our industry?
It would be my hope that cerebral influencers and leaders overcome the selfish, greed-driven minds that influence our governments, economy and ultimately their own pocket books. Until this happens, we may never see true full adoption of sustainable practices that ultimately may disrupt the powerhouse fuel-giants of the 20th and 21st century. As we only have one life, we only have one earth that life calls home. I hope we can all protect it together.
Motto or personal mantra?
There is but one cause of human failure and that is man’s lack of faith in his true self.
Do you collect anything?
Running/Race Medals – So far, I am over 20!
