About Me
My entire adult life I have been engrossed in internet business and the functions that drive it.
This passion has driven me to understand all aspects of the eCommerce value chain from logistics
to design, development, and marketing.
In pursuit of a digital focused career I attended Athabasca University where I received a Bachelor
of Commerce degree majoring in eCommerce & Business Technology Management.
Throughout my education and afterwards I continued to work full time, always staying as close to the
digital market as possible and relating all my learnings back to it. At United Parcel Service I learned
supply chain management, 3PL, and the in-and-outs of logistics. From there I moved to the start-up
JUUL Labs where I helped establish their new hybrid retail initiative. With the completion of that role
I joined Sole to Soul Footwear where I currently reside.
As Director Of Ecommerce at Sole to Soul Footwear I am challenged to implement all my learnings in order
to grow their online footprint, increase revenue, and strengthen the relationship between retail and eCommerce.
Though busy I always continue to learn, create, and challenge myself. I have high expectations for myself but
I am confident in what I can achieve through hard work.
