I have been with Sam’s Club/Walmart Inc. for 9 years.  My journey started in 2015 as a Buyer, before transitioning to Sr. Buyer in 2016, and Sr. Director in 2018.   During this time I led the Spirits and Adult Beverage Omnichannel businesses.  As the Spirits lead, I oversaw all Merchandising and Replenishment activity.  As the Adult Beverage Omnichannel lead, I spearheaded the development and execution of the Division’s Omnichannel strategic roadmap.  In 2020 I left Adult Beverage to take on a Omnichannel Sr. Director role in Dry Grocery where I had responsibility for the Coffee category.  In May of 2022 I was Named Vice President, DMM, Adult Beverage & Tobacco for Sam’s Club.  In addition to my core business responsibilities, I also lead several companywide initiatives.

Prior to joining Sam’s Club, I spent 10 years working for Anheuser-Busch and Boeing in various Strategy & Planning, Finance, Mergers & Acquisitions, and Analytics roles.  I also did two District Manager internships with Aldi back in college.  Extending into education, I have an MBA from Washington University in St. Louis and a BSBA from the University of Missouri (both Corporate Finance emphasis).

I am a native of St. Louis, and married with two children – wife Sarah, daughter Maris (10), and son Jace (7).  My hobbies include working out, watching football, slow smoked BBQ, golf, hiking, and spending time with family and friends.
