Following graduation, I went to work for Bombardier, one of the leading players in the power sports industry (Sea-Doo personal watercraft, Ski-Doo snowmobiles, Bombardier ATV's, and Johnson/Evinrude outboard engines). After two internal assignments in two years, I went out on the road as a District Sales Manager, responsible for sales and dealer development for the outboard engine division in Wisconsin and Illinois. A year and a half later, I was promoted to the position of Regional Sales Director – OEM. In this new position, I will be responsible for certain key accounts and will be charged with enhancing the company's relationship with its OEM partners. In addition, I will be working closely with the current OEM team to develop the strategic long term business. I will be based out of my home in downtown Chicago.
