He began his career at this company as an intern while he was finishing his bachelor of science degree in business management at Arizona State University with W.P. Carey School of Business. The turning point of his career was when he was introduced to a naturally gifted and highly successful salesman, Chad Patton, through a shared mentor. With an operations background, he perfectly complemented Chad’s strengths. They quickly gravitated towards each other and grew a bond based on high professional standards.

At the age of 26, he took a huge risk to leave his secure career to co-create and launch Stream Logistics with his business partner, Chad Patton. They developed Stream Logistics from a start-up business, which utilized a kitchen as its initial office, to a multi-million dollar company headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona at the Optima Sonoran Village.

With a consistent, high-performing carrier network, Stream Logistics provides freight and transportation solutions for manufacturers nationwide.
