“The best part about working as an Executive Recruiter is being able to help people find jobs that they love to get up in the morning to do. In talking to candidates, we hear about wonderful, and not so wonderful places to work. What I have learned is that there is a place for everyone and being able to match the right people to the right jobs is unbelievably rewarding. The opportunity to spend my day talking with, and learning from, a myriad of individuals is what keeps me coming back day in and day out. I am lucky to work with a group of men and women that make coming into the office everyday rewarding. I have great mentors and diligent coworkers and we are all constantly pushing each other to be better.

This industry is a competition that always keeps me on my toes. No day is the same as the last or going to be the same as the next. I get to be myself while helping other people find better opportunities and exemplify what my Jesuit education instilled in me: To be a man for others.”
