2013-2020

AN ERA OF UNPRECEDENTED industry disruption, revenue GROWTH, and marketplace domination

I joined Zillow in 2013 and never missed quota. More important, I learned how to sell—and build—inside hypergrowth.

We outplayed Trulia, then integrated them—products, customers, and an entire sales force—as the org scaled from a big room to nearly a thousand sellers.

I lived in the field, listened hard, and turned what I heard into motion the team could run tomorrow.

“Best of Zillow,” our partner-experience score, is one example of that habit: take the noise, make it useful, scale it.

The pictures tell the rest—clients, teams, conferences, road shows—because the work was done in market: texting and emailing between flights, FaceTime and face-to-face in offices, whiteboards before live calls, product rollouts and roadshows, and the annuals in Las Vegas where we set the story and carried it back to the field.

I balanced a book while traveling, represented the brand when it mattered, and helped ship the tools that made the next week sharper than the last.

That combination is the value I bring to a fast-growing go-to-market: selling through a competitor’s defeat and the harder job of integration; using resources well while products evolve; serving customers at speed. Book managed. Brand represented. Product launched. Revenue Targets Exceed. ROI Delivered.

Essential Sales Pro is my operating system—shaped selling through hypergrowth, beating then integrating Trulia, and shipping work that scaled. It blends clear narrative selling with disciplined execution and field-led iteration. The phrases in the banner—ridiculous effort, crazy consistency, head on swivel, roll up sleeves, 100% to target—aren’t slogans; hey’re how I show up: curious, prepared, and always iterating. The humor is intentional—sales is serious work, but people buy from people.
