Why sales

I didn't set out to work in sales. I started Gloss and Go because I wanted to run something of my own, and I found out fast that the detailing was the easy part. The real job was knocking on doors, getting told no, and going back out the next morning anyway. More than 150 jobs later, that turned out to be the part I liked most.

Before that I led and trained shift teams of around 20 people, where I learned that most problems get smaller the moment you talk to the person in front of you honestly. Since then I've kept a recurring client roster without losing a single account — the follow-up is the whole job.

I'm looking for an SDR/BDR seat because I want to do the prospecting part full time, on a team, with a product I can stand behind — and be coached by people who’ve been doing it longer.

Projects

SalvageRun

Designed and shipped an asymmetric co-op multiplayer game, using AI-assisted development to execute. Two to four players split into ship defenders holding the deck and ground runners hauling salvage from the field — built for LAN play.

Why it's here: I scoped it, set the deadlines, and shipped it end to end — nobody assigned me this work.

PartyLAN

Built a 6-player party game with 27 minigames and online/LAN play. Players jump between fast rounds — Orb Collect, Snake Arena, Conveyor Chaos, Sheep Herder, and more — joining over LAN or online via a Relay join code.

Why it's here: 27 minigames, 6 players, online and LAN play — I designed and shipped every one of them.

Contact

I'm actively interviewing for SDR/BDR roles and open to relocating or working remotely. If you're hiring, I'd welcome the conversation.
