After spending over 30 years in the office technology industry, I’ve had the privilege of working with incredible teams, learning from the community, and helping dealers transform the way they do business. Most recently, I spent nearly a decade with Compass Sales Solutions (White Cup), where I focused on new logo acquisition and worked closely with dealers across the country to implement CRM and CPQ solutions.
When Compass pivoted away from the office technology space, I was disappointed. This industry has been my home for most of my professional life. I’ve built lasting relationships, had countless conversations about what dealers really need, and stayed close to the challenges and opportunities facing this space. So when it came time to chart my next chapter, I wanted to be thoughtful about where I could make the biggest impact.
I started by doing what most of you would do: researching, asking questions, and talking to people I trust. I evaluated every sales automation platform in the market, with one goal in mind: who is still showing up for the dealer community?
That question led me to SalesChain.
Having spent years competing with them, I already respected the platform. But when I really dug in, I realized just how complete the solution has become. SalesChain is built from the ground up for dealers, from CRM to CPQ, Financing, and Quote to Cash tools, it’s a true end-to-end solution.
Here are a few of the things that stood out to me:
- Best-in-class leasing company integrations
- A deep and effective partnership with e-Automate
- A CPQ tool that has to be seen to be believed
- Catalogs Made Easy – a powerful feature that removes a major pricing burden for dealers
- CRM functionality that’s tightly integrated with Microsoft Office
I joined SalesChain because I believe in their mission, and because I believe this industry deserves a better, more connected path forward. If we’ve worked together in the past, or even if we haven’t, I’d love to reconnect. Let me show you what I’ve found here and why I’m excited about what’s ahead.
Whether you’re looking to replace Sherpa immediately or planning for the future, let’s talk.
Looking forward to what’s next,

Vice President of Sales, SalesChain
