Is there a mentor who has meant a lot to you in your career?

My dad has been the most impactful mentor in my career. We built Total Industrial’s full business development program together, and I’ve had a front-row seat to his work ethic, drive, and commitment to success. He leads by example in everything he does, and I’m constantly learning from his approach to business, relationships, and growth.

What would you say is your greatest professional accomplishment to date?

My greatest professional accomplishment is building Total Industrial from the ground up. From the early stages to where we are today, I’ve helped shape the company’s vision, structure, and growth. A key part of that success has been building a strong internal team that drives our performance and culture. Seeing the team develop and contribute to meaningful results for our partners has been especially rewarding.
