Micromobility


My Core Values
Show up everyday. Building great things takes time. Having motivation to put out our best effort is easy when things are going well. Its hard when we are tired, exhausted, and beat down. To accomplish great things I make it a point to have the DRIVE to show up everyday. When the going gets tough motivation is not enough. Motivation fades and wavers. Drive is the unrelenting ocean tide melts rugged rocky cliffs into silky smooth sandy beaches. Drive creates consistency not motivation.
Not all actions carry the same weight in driving production. Twenty percent of tasks carry 80% of the weight and thus must be given 80% of the support. This is called Pareto’s Principle AKA the 80/20 rule. The most productive 20% of tasks must be prioritized to maintain balance. This is proper time management. Too often we can get wrapped up in the large scope of a huge project and give unequal responsibilities equal attention. When designing a skyscraper the shade of white to paint the interior walls should not be given the same time or consideration as constructing the skeleton frame. This is painfully obvious, but we have all fallen victim to not seeing the forest for the trees. I make it a point to stay balanced by carefully analyzing which 20% of tasks are worthy of 80% of my time.
When building a skyscraper we must undergo progress reports known as building inspections. In life we are our own building inspectors. Examining ourselves and endeavors honestly takes discipline. Sometimes the inspector says “I know you spent a lot of time on that frame, but you used the wrong bolts.” It takes discipline and humility to admit you’ve poured your blood sweat and tears into something that doesn’t cut the mustard. Discipline is the strength to chart a new course in the eye of failure and the resolve to stay on course when making all the right moves but the light at the end of the tunnel remains distant. Have you ever heard or an overnight success years in the making? This is discipline in action.
Once our skyscraper or successful practice has been built it can’t go neglected. This is the reason why realtors and insurance agents complete continuing education courses. This is the same reason and all our building systems including the skeleton frame and foundation are constantly undergoing planned inspections for continued structural integrity. Complacency is a common pitfall of success. We can get arrogant and forget that our success was the product of discipline and hard work. Success makes us want to cut corners. It convinces us that since we’ve built something great it will maintain itself without continual maintenance. We become prone to taking shortcuts, production dips, and then we excuse the dip as a function soft economy or seasonal a seasonal hiccup.
Structure is maintaining what we’ve built through constant scrutiny of our consistency, balance, and discipline. Are doing what made us successful? Am I showing up everyday and managing my time correctly? Are we constantly examining ourselves and our processes for weaknesses?
I have many passions, talents, and skills. I excelled both on the athletic field and academically, especially in STEM. I love electronics and leading a healthy lifestyle. Since graduating on the Dean’s Honor List with a Marketing Degree from Sacramento State’s School of Business Administration I’ve been trying to find the right career to balance all my interests. The first step on my journey was selling insurance at Liberty Mutual where I began crafting my sales skills and learning how to prospect for Strategic Partnerships.
Selling insurance is easy. Building an audience (aka marketing) takes talent. At Liberty Mutual I was successful at building my audience by developing strategic partnerships with businesses. I opened and serviced affinity B2B accounts including Mattress Firm, The Maita Auto Group, and Delegata. In the first year after opening the Mattress Firm account I grew partner market penetration by 10% and personally wrote more than $750,000 in lifetime premiums for home, auto, and life insurance policies.
Business was good and I earned praise including the Pacesetter, Pacesetter Plus, and Parade of Stars Awards but the job didn’t align with my passion for electronics, athletics, and growth. The most fulfilling part of my job was the bike ride to and from work. I needed to combine the excellent sales training I got from Liberty Mutual with my love for electronics. The answer…solar power.

Riding my bike was always a stress relief for me and I was in need of some “Retail Therapy”. It helped me through a lot of tough times and even helped me work off the college and post college weight I had accumulated. With this is mind I went to work at Mike’s Bike’s. Mike’s has been great to me and given me a great introduction to micromobility. I excelled there from day one despite starting after the pandemic “Bike Boom”. Since my first month on the job I’ve been our #1 Producer selling 19 bikes/mo. with $50,789 monthly sales.
