Misty Harbor Pontoon Boats | Director of Sales & Marketing | 2012 – 2016 | Remote 

This is where the work speaks loudest. As Director of Sales & Marketing for a privately held pontoon boat manufacturer, I inherited a regional brand with national ambitions and no clear path to get there.

Four years later the path was clear in the numbers.

• 235%+ unit sales growth through territory development and structured sales management

• Seven independent territories managed across the United States

• Dealer network expanded nationally through disciplined recruitment and performance management

• National brand relaunched across digital, print, social, and broadcast channels — funded through co-op partnerships with engine and component manufacturers

• On The Pontoon — 8-episode television series produced from concept through broadcast, airing on Destination America and streaming on Amazon Prime

• Company valuation materially increased, contributing to successful private sale of the business

Following the acquisition, continued as Territory Sales Manager covering the Eastern Seaboard from Maine through Florida (2016–2020), consistently exceeding territory targets and launching a private-label manufacturing partnership generating premium-margin revenue.

Trade Masters & Consultants | 1991 – 2000 | Greater Birmingham, AL 

Started my career managing B2B sales relationships with some of the largest food manufacturers in the country — H.J. Heinz, Stouffer's, and Weight Watchers. The work required close coordination between customer purchasing teams, R&D departments, vendor production capacity, and just-in-time logistics delivery.

• 300%+ business growth over nine years through relationship-driven account management

• Served as primary liaison between Fortune 500 customers and multiple production and distribution partners

• Managed complex supply chain logistics requiring precision, trust, and consistent follow-through

Nonprofit Executive Leadership | 2000 – 2012 

Spent twelve years in senior executive roles leading large organizations through growth and transition — managing teams, budgets, strategy, and culture across two states.

• 1,000-member organization with 17 staff and $1M+ annual operating budget

• Strategic planning, vision development, budgeting, and resource allocation

• Leadership development programs, performance management, and staff training

• International partnership oversight across six countries: Guatemala, Fiji, Scotland, Honduras, Belize, and Latvia

• Chaired regional governance committee overseeing cross-organizational strategy

The communication, leadership, and organizational skills developed here translate directly into every executive role I've held since.
