About Us
Our Passion
Finding you The Job of your dreams
I have the tools, expertise and savvy to locate the talent that you need right where they sit. I get to know each of my clients’ businesses intimately so that I am able to sell the candidates on whatever it is they tell me will get them to move and join your company. I only provide candidates that are 80% fit or above and are highly vetted as good fits for your culture, company and the role itself.
As a seasoned Senior Technical Recruiter having worked in and for multi-national as well as small staffing firms, I’ve seen it all. I know how to refine and target your job description to find you the talent that you’re really looking for and know where to find the most passive candidates who never post their resume to get a new job.
I love helping people. I have for as long as I can remember as a young boy. My passion is to improve people’s lives – whether that be helping a candidate find their dream role that changes their life, or helping a company hire the talent they need that helps them get to where they want to go faster, it is what gets me out of bed in the morning and drives everything that I do.
I always have my finger on the pulse of the market and have the tools to know where the candidates that you need are currently working and how to get them to change and come work for your company.

Owner
By going the retained search route, I am able to put all of my effort into crafting the right plan to find you the people that you need yesterday. Working in partnership with you, I will advise you as to what I believe the right course of action is to fill your openings when you need them filled, not just with another warm body with skills, but with the right person, who wants to be there, is invested in the company and will be there for the long-term.
Hiring the right talent can be a confusing and frustrating process. I will guide you through it step by step and make it as painless and quick as possible to find you the right people that you need to help you take your company and organization where you want to go.
In my free time, I am a family man and father to three amazing children who always keep me on my toes and moving. I am a giant Chicago Blackhawks hockey fan, and really hockey in general. In the fall, you can find me on Saturday afternoons watching Iowa Hawkeyes football. I’m also an avid reader that is always trying to improve my knowledge around various topics – including the best talent acquisition and recruiting methods, the latest and greatest technology in sourcing and recruiting the highest quality candidates and improving my spiritual walk with Jesus.
