I was probably skipping class on career day or maybe just too busy bopping along to whatever Korean rap artist was big at the time, regardless, one thing is sure shooting, I wound up at the store that only sells Blackberry's and Brioni's and I stuffed that cart full. (I'm old I have an iPhone now)

Joking, I got into sales for the same 3 reasons anyone gets into sales. Chicks, money, money, and chicks. I grew up poor and knew the world wasn't gonna be kind to me. So I did anything I could to get out of that neighborhood and make a decent living. I don't regret it.

Was living in my in-laws basement with my wife and 2 kids, trying to pay off student loans and save a downpayment for our first house...couldn't get hired onto a fire department due to post-recession budget cutbacks and layoffs (circa 2010). Had to pivot. Found sales. Never looked back.
