Your target role

set by the owner · live▾

Everything above is an outside read of where you've been. This is the one block you write yourself — the direction you're steering toward.

How it reads now

Regional Executive – Connected Communities (Telecom)

Two AT&T tenures (retail leadership 2011–2016; B2B/MDU role since 2020) indicate strong fit for telecom commercial sales roles, especially in multi‑dwelling property partnerships. Prior industrial sales management at Port City broadens exposure to manufacturing clientele and regional operations.

How I can help

I help property owners and managers navigate bringing carrier services into apartments and condos — from first outreach through install, resident onboarding, and renewal. I’ve also led telecom retail teams and shifted into B2B, so I understand the full customer lifecycle from storefront to portfolio accounts.

If you’re tackling multi‑stakeholder sales in MDUs, I can share what works for outreach sequencing, stakeholder mapping, and retention mechanics in West Michigan.

Can teach

›Structuring an MDU outreach plan for owners/HOAs

›Designing a simple retention pipeline for SMB/MDU accounts

›Coordinating installs with developers and property managers

About

aggregated · two voices
AI summary · generated from verified data

Commercial sales leader for AT&T in West Michigan, with current work connected to the AT&T Connected Communities program for apartments and condos. His LinkedIn places the role in Muskegon with a title shift shown in activity to “Regional Executive – Connected Communities.” Before returning to AT&T, he was Sales Manager at Port City Architectural Signage in Muskegon, an industrial signage maker whose foundry location is documented in Michigan EGLE and state tax‑certificate records. Donor listings across Holland Symphony and Saugatuck Center for the Arts — paired with Chris Garcia Peak — and separate gifts to Southwest Michigan Land Conservancy suggest an active local civic footprint. This is an early‑footprint profile with limited third‑party press or conference visibility and few externally verified metrics.

How my profile reads

An outside read of the profile based on available evidence — what's strong, the one thing to tighten, and what else surfaced.

Overall read

Reads as a West Michigan telecom commercial operator with two stints at AT&T and current work aligned to the Connected Communities program for apartments/condos. The arc from AT&T retail leadership to regional B2B/MDU work is clear, with a detour through industrial sales at a Muskegon foundry‑anchored manufacturer. Public footprint is mostly philanthropic listings; third‑party press and external metrics are light, and the current title/location needs reconciliation.
