My career at Southwest Displays & Events began in 1992. I started as a Project Manager then moved into the Operations Manager, finally landing in the position I currently hold; Account Executive of Sales. Because of my past experience I am able to give my clients the best service possible. Being your trade show partner verses the standard client/vendor relationship is the reason I have held a strong client base. With over 17 years of proven trade show experience, my team offers an innovative approach to exhibiting by providing solutions that are efficient and cost effective. My team takes great pride in being accessible 24/7 and we respond quickly to our client's needs. My goal is to work with companies who share our passion and philosophy with regards to service, quality and value.

I began my career in 1994 in the trade show business, at the age of 21. Through the years I have experienced many aspects of the trade show industry. Many of my clients have commented on my hard work and dedication as an Account Executive. I truly believe that my experiences and knowledge have molded me into a person that is poised to oversee any project I have an opportunity to lead. In this day and age of doing more with less, many clients do not have the luxury of overseeing every aspect of every project. As an account executive I strive to assist clients by managing cost, being dependable, being knowledgeable, and showing loyalty and dedication. I truly care about what I do for my clients and am always motivated to make a positive difference. I motivate myself to work in an ethical manner while doing what it takes to find the right solutions for my customers.

My clients count on me for all aspects of their event and exhibit projects. They need someone who can see the big picture while making the small pieces work. Talk to me about your plans and let’s see how we can create more impact for your company with solid advice and streamlined operations. My career began in 1999 at Display Concepts Inc., after my service in the military. I managed all trade show business activity including production, purchasing and negotiating contracts with suppliers. I moved into sales in 2005 when I joined Snap Drape International. I became a Senior Account Executive in 2008 and winning the “2009 Top 40 under 40” in the trade show biz. Wanting to move into a more creative position with Custom Exhibits, I joined Southwest Displays & Events in 2010 as an Account Executive. Bringing all my past expertise to the Custom Exhibit environment has brought my level of knowledge one step closer to perfection.

What started out as a curious question, "What is a trade show?" has become a 20 year career. Turning marketing concepts into reality is what we do and why we exist. I am very fortunate and proud to work and partner with some of the most experienced and talented people in the industry. The level of expertise and professionalism starts at the home office in Carrollton, Texas and extends to every major trade show venue in the World. My goal is twofold, employ the vast resources available to continue to provide the marketing solutions that my existing client base has come to expect and to expand into new markets via the acquisition of new clients!

I had the pleasure of joining Southwest Displays & Events in 2001 after many years working in the trade show industry. Most of my experience comes from working with small to large corporations providing trade show services such as new booth builds, show logistics and event support worldwide. It is a pleasure to work for a company that has all expertise and industry knowledge needed to make any trade show or event a total success. Currently I office and head up the Southwest Displays & Events sales office located in Austin, Texas

The creation of environments has been a passion of mine from an early age. I have been fortunate enough to make my passion my career for over 20 years beginning with architectural design which transitioned into retail interior environments and later into Tradeshows and Exhibits. My career with Southwest Displays & Events has also transitioned over the last 13 years. I began as a Project Manger, was promoted to Operations Manager and again to General Manager and I am currently an Account Executive. I am able to pull from my past experience within the company to provide unparalleled knowledge of the industry and areas for savings. With years of experience estimating cost, producing engineering drawings and ordering materials I have the unique ability to listen to a client’s needs and to give them a display that fits both their needs and is within their budgets. My clients and my team are partners and your success is our success.
