I am happily married with two wonderful daughters, Sienna (4) and Briella (2), along with two dogs, Zeus and Luna. I am a graduate of Temple University which led me to my first professional job as Director of Baseball Operations at the University of Pennsylvania. From there, I embarked on an exciting journey with RDS Enterprises, where I had the privilege of selling prestigious automobiles like Lamborghini, Maserati, Ferrari, Porsche, and McLarens for over a decade. This role not only exposed me to luxury automobiles but also allowed me to master the art of customer service and relationship building. My career eventually led me to All Out Parking Lots, where I currently serve as the Director of Business Development. Despite being relatively new to the industry, having joined just four months ago, I’m thoroughly enjoying the fresh challenges that each day brings. I find great satisfaction in networking with peers and professionals, and I’m constantly amazed by the remarkable individuals I meet within this dynamic industry.
How do you interact with Facility Managers?
I know building a relationship with FMs takes time and effort. Before reaching out, I like doing my due diligence and research about them personally as well as their facility. I like making it more of a personal and friendship vibe. It helps build trust and I can show my value by giving options and solutions to their problems. With clear communication throughout the process, problem solving vendor, and providing solutions helps make for a strong partnership.
Tell us about a favorite project related to working with a Facility Manager.
Thus far, one of my favorite projects to date would have to be repairing the parking lot down at the Wells Fargo Center. As a huge Philly Sports fan, it was amazing being a part of fixing up the parking lots that I have parked on for years. Now, when I go tailgate, I can share with people that my company did the work.
What is your greatest success story related to working with Facility Managers?
As I mentioned in my bio, I am only several months into the industry. With that being said, I don’t have a “greatest” success story currently. I would say successfully building relationships with FMs and watching them grow into friendships and partnerships for years to come.
Tell us about a challenge or obstacle that you faced working with a Facilities Manager and how you overcame it.
Challenges that I have faced so far are connecting with the right person. FMs typically have several properties in various locations. They are constantly dealing with a magnitude of issues that arise not just for my industry which makes it difficult getting time to connect and show the value I can provide.
What is something that most people do not know about you?
I still actively play competitive football across the country.
What learning experience would you pass onto future FM’s?
I keep coming back to having transparency and honesty. Essentially, when you become a vendor for them, you are a direct reflection of their team/company. So, providing great service leads to building a strong relationship, trust, and referrals for years to come.
