Experience

MADE Urban Apparel

• Business Owner, Chief Excecutive Officer

  • Sep 2012 - Present

  As one of the Founders and CEO of Made Urban Apparel I have worn many hats since the company was founded in September of 2012. Some of these include working with the Sate of Missouri to insure we are compliant with all business operations, tax filings, permits etc. Other roles include accounting and cash flow management. Director of Sales operations for wholesale, retail, e commerce, and business to business. My two partners and I started this as a side business while working together at Sprint corp in 2012. Through loyalty and increasing sales numbers year after year we were able to hire on a handful of very talented individuals that would assist in Sales, design, marketing, photography, and operations. In early 2018 It became clear that this business was taking off and I decided to part ways with the corporate world of Sales management to go full time with this endeavor. I am always looking to connect with like minded individuals and always willing to serve those in my network however I can. Show less
