I joined Executive Resources in June of 1993. My sole focus is the Information Technology sector in the Des Moines metro area, as well as the surrounding communities. I’ve worked an I.T. niche since December 1994. My prior experience includes working for a large software development company as well as a hardware reseller. It’s been 20 years and I LOVE what I do.... on MOST days!    I know our market like the back of my hand!    I have a sincere passion and true understanding of the impact on all the parties who are involved when it comes to hiring someone or making a career change. I feel that I’ve made a difference in a handful of people’s lives. The rest think I suck, but that’s just part of the gig. The other part of my work that drives me day after day would be all the great people I’ve met and the laughs that I have on a daily basis.

In regard to a career high for me, I’d have to say being accepted as a member into the Pinnacle Society would be the ultimate (www.pinnaclesociety.org). I have always attended outside training to continue to hone my skills, but meeting this great group of generous people has really affected how I do my job.

If you do decide to work with me as a client I will be straight forward and do my best never to waste your time!    If I don’t think I can fill your opportunity, I’ll let you know.

If I work with you as a candidate please know that I pride myself on being fair and after making hundreds of offers, I'm skilled at getting the questions answered that you may not even think about during the process of considering a job change!  

I believe in treating people how I like to be treated.

I was born in Iowa and grew up in West Des Moines.   I graduated from Valley High School and Iowa State University before getting my start in recruiting in 1988.  I now have 25 years of experience recruiting IT professionals in the Des Moines area.  I joined Executive Resources in April of 2013 and am excited to be a part of the Executive Resources team.   

My wife, Joyce and I have two wonderful kids who are also going through the West Des Moines school district.  My daughter loves volleyball and track, while my son plays competitive baseball.  In my spare time, I enjoy golfing in the summer and bowling in the winter.  I have also been a member of the same Fantasy Football League for twenty years.

I will work hard for you, whether you are looking for your ideal job or looking to hire one of Des Moines' brightest.  If you have any questions regarding the job market, salary trends or how to market yourself in this ever-changing IT industry, give me a call.  I’d love to hear from you.
