Our Cleveland Team

Owner and President, Rick's journey into the world of sales and management training was anything but conventional. He spent much of his career working with several of North America’s largest steel distribution centers providing a broad range of products, value-added services, and logistic solutions to companies in diverse industries such as Oil & Gas, Semi-Conductor, Aerospace, Power Generation, and Capital Equipment Manufacturing.

Rick was first exposed to Sandler as a client in 2004 and made significant impacts on his career. As Rick explained, "being trained by the grizzly sales veteran is the norm in most businesses which could be good or bad. Sandler really showed me all the options that I had available in the sales conversation."

A native of Northeastern Ohio, Rick is a 1989 graduate of the University of Akron where he earned his BSBA in Marketing with a focus on the industrial sector. In 2013 he began his distinguished career providing professional development opportunities for growth minded individuals seeking to be the best at their craft.
