Yeah, you know a lot, right? I got to where I am today by first of all, not knowing what I wanna do when I grow up. I went to University of Utah, uh, for a semester, and I wanted to study business on Deny. Served a two year service mission for my church. And I went to Korea and learned, Ah, second language. I learned Korean, and while I was out there, I I started thinking through marketing. Um, maybe I could maybe I could get into marketing because it has business aspects to it and communication. I love to communicate, love to work with people. So when I got back from Korea, I ended up going thio, Brigham Young University, studying Korean, just thinking maybe I'll go into international business and marketing with Korean on as I did that I had just things pop up, um, on my path. That led me to where I'm at today. I I tried to do every extra curricular activity I could do. We have the ad lab, Brigham Young University. We did advertising for different companies there. I worked with the Utah Jazz and I love sports. I love sports marketing that really interested me there. I also gotta work with Nike. Nike, I d. We worked on a project for a brand rollout for Nike ID, and it was super interesting to me. A very, very fun project. So I knew that That's the wheelhouse I wanted to spend my time in. And I was planning on going to work for Nike, had a couple opportunities pop up. And the day I graduated for Brigham Young University, I got a call. I remember really, really good mentor mind. Dwayne Sprague. Hey called me and said, Hey, we want you to come work for the Utah Jazz if if you want to to come be a account executive for their for their advertising agency l h M Advertising. And you know, me and my wife talked it over and way Do want to stay in Utah. We like Utah a lot. So we decided that where we wanted to live played a big factor in what I was gonna do in my life. And so we took that job. I was there for about a year, and then I got head hunted by, uh, you know, the famous Utah industry, a door knocking company called a PX alarm, and they wanted my skill set in marketing and advertising to help build their program. And so I came over and started working for a PX alarm, and I've been here now for 12 years. Went through a name change from Apex to Vivint Vivint Smart home and then I with the spinoff of Solar, I came to Vivint Solar, and then we were recently acquired by somehow. So it's been quite the journey. But that's my story. And I think I think really what shaped it is that I just kept my head down and I just I just kept moving along from opportunity to opportunity. I didn't look at anything as a setback. I looked at everything as a stepping stone to where I was going and what that was gonna leave Me, too. And it's led me to where I'm at today, which I love

so I worked with a lot of our sales reps in acquiring business, So I work on how they could generate their own leads through marketing materials. I work on programs to motivate. I work on training programs, Um, recruiting, uh, cells, material sells motivation. And then maybe the thing I like most is just their career development, leadership, development. How do I get them to be better at their jobs so that we could bring in more business? And I think a lot of that is the realm of marketing connecting the product and in this case, ourselves reps to the customer in a way that's enticing.um, so weekly work hours. I'll start there. It's really it's sporadic. It's what, Once the project at hand, what are we trying to accomplish? I love innovation. I love creating new things, developing new projects, new programs that push the business along. And so, with those projects and programs get passionate about him. And when you're passionate about something, you want to do it. And so, uh, the work hours really follow my passion on different things. If I'm trying to hit a deadline, I'm working through that deadline I obviously want to create. I have five kids, a wife. I want to create that work life balance, which I feel I'm able to Dubai bringing my family into into my work, not necessarily them coming to my work, but talking with my work with them or about my work with them and just getting them involved creates a good, good balance there. But I consider myself working all the time just because I love it. I love what I do. Top priorities are volume way. We definitely want to way want to grow the business, any business you want to grow and working in sales. We wanna we wanna take our product, which is very unique and amazing product to customers. We wanna maybe second priority or top priority as well as customer experience. How do we create a good customer experience that seamless So our customers get the experience that they deserve with an amazing product, which we have in solar? Solar is the future. And delivering that Teoh consumers around the U. S. Has been has been pretty amazing. And then my I would say, my personal third priority is my employees. So the people I work with my peers, how do I create a good environment That's motivational and experience driven so that they can have a good experience so that they can love doing what they do every day. When you get a job, it's sort of your putting your stamp on. Here's what I'm gonna be. Here's what I'm gonna become And here's what I'm gonna do every day. So why not make the best of it? Why not make it the best situation and and really make a really good atmosphere for those around you? So that would be my other top priority. Great question

um, some pain points in a job like mine would be what to do next. I think a lot of times, you know, you you get caught up in the repetition of different things that you're working on. And so a pain point would be growing like you always wanna be growing. You wanna be innovating, you wanna be developing the next thing that's gonna help your business grow. And so really nailing that, looking at that as not a pain point but away an opportunity for you to grow your career, for your peers to grow in their careers and for the company to grow as a whole. I think those come along all the time and you can either take the challenge and go after it. Or you can let it let it hold you down. Um, on I would say, Maybe another pain point is when you have passion and an idea and you really want to innovate on something, there's thousands of other employees of this company and, you know, maybe a few others or a lot of others that air peers of mine, that when I have an idea, I have to infuse that idea into their minds as something that's gonna help us move forward. And not everybody agrees on things. And so as you're working through projects and you're working through these different ideas that you can have, um, some people might disagree with with your opinion or where you're trying to take things. And so overcoming that really is just how do you create a situation where everybody could get involved, add their ideas and help push, push it forward? And sometimes you really just have to hop out on a ledge and know that what you believe is going to work will work, and you have to stand behind it and push for it and push for it until you see it come to fruition and you overcome those Those objections. Um, maybe an example that that I have had in my career is being able to create a sales platform for all of our sales reps out there. Um, who get paid to do what they do well, I wanted to create a motivational sales platform that really took their experience to the next level a t end of the day. The dollar only goes so far it can only motivate so much. So how do we create other intangible experiences for these sales reps so that they could go be more productive and more successful and have more fun in their career? Um, taking the dollars that it takes Thio implement a program like that and asking for that on top of commissions that are already out there, you know, Ah, lot of a lot of those things. Those were hard to get through the the channels or the approval process. Uh, but that in my career, really having an idea they're sticking to it and pushing for the idea to come to fruition was really a huge success point in my career and basically got me to where I am today.
