My passion for sports originated in Greencastle, IN where I was born and raised. It is a small, quiet town and our social experiences always revolved around sports. Following high school I went on to Purdue University and earned my Bachelors Degree in Sales & Marketing. I married my amazing wife and we raised 3 amazing young men, Carter, Kadeo and Brax, along with our dog, Boiler. While the bulk of my professional life has been in the sales arena, my love and passion for sports has always been a mainstay. I have coached football, baseball and wrestling for more than 20 years and spent some time as an Athletic Director. I have seen the changes and challenges of sports, equipment, travel, etc and see Vertical Raise as an opportunity to help ensure young athletes continue to get the same opportunities and experiences I received. I am committed and blessed to be able to give back and help our fundraising partners meet and exceed their goals. We pride ourselves on our fundraising platform and exceed expectations with our customer service. Please reach out if we can be of service or to request additional information.
