Our people

I am a foodie to the core, nutritional science research zealot, and a dabbler in biohacking and human optimization, (however I still love a good pizza).  I came to the natural foods industry over a decade ago after many years in the advertising and business development industry wanting to contribute my energy to a better and healthier World. I’m Cambridge Commodities part time mountain man with an intense passion for nature and trying to re-wild myself, learning from and listening to the natural world around me. Pretty weird right? Residing in the great Pacific Northwest, I spend my warmer days playing competitive doubles sand volleyball, and when the temperatures drop you’ll find me lost in the woods seeking out my own food sources. I’m an extremely proud father of twin boys and strive to be an open, sincere, caring and compassionate human being. I’m always here to help! 

I came to the organic ingredients industry over a decade ago when I realized the importance of a health-promoting lifestyle after recovering from an injury as a collegiate hockey player. I have been passionately involved in the industry ever since. Beyond sales, I love helping and watching companies that I believe in develop and thrive. My passion for organic, high-quality ingredients also stems from a multi-generational love of food, having been raised Italian-American and still deriving so much joy from cooking slow, intentional meals for myself and my growing family. I thrive on the excitement of seeing our customers succeed.  I look forward to connecting!

Being in the Supply Chain and Foodservice industry since 2013 has allowed me to grow universally across multiple industries while actively managing National Accounts, B2B Sales, and Business Development. My heart has always been in the health industry since high school, so coming to work for Cambridge Commodities in early 2022 has truly been a dream come true. 

I am beyond thankful for the opportunity daily to work with customers that share the same purpose I do; helping make health and wellness a fun, accessible, and convenient lifestyle across the world. With my experience involving extensive customer service and account managing, along with my outgoing personality, I have developed a strong passion for my customers, their needs, their vision, and helping them personally and professionally achieve their goals.

When I am not behind my computer, you will find me spending time with my boys outside, playing cards, board games, and puzzles, or reading when I can find a quiet moment. My passion for a healthy lifestyle trickles into my daily life from going to the gym, staying hydrated, movement throughout the day, intentional eating, taking the adequate supplements for my individual needs, and getting enough sleep. 

Healthy living can look different to so many, therefore I strive to support others’ choices and desires. That is something here at Cambridge Commodities I have felt and seen; we support each other’s goals and purpose. CCI has an atmosphere comprising courage, growth, excellence, togetherness, hard work, healthy balance, and innovation. Now our goal is to live out our culture daily to make a difference in our customers' lives for the better. 

What is your role and what does it involve?

I am an Executive Sales Rep covering 10 Western states. I work directly with customers starting from product sourcing, to sending samples for research and development, to final production. I help determine new products that fit their line/vision, use forecasted purchase needs to adjust inventory levels and make quick pivots to hedge against the rapidly changing market.

Tell us a bit about your career background.

I have always had my hand in sales of some sort of sales role, from a newspaper route, owning a gym, to running a boutique auto dealership. I was looking for something that seemed a little more family time friendly and found it. I am currently loving the transition to superfood and healthy food ingredient sourcing and distribution. The entire industry is fascinating and the more I learn, the more I enjoy it.

What do you enjoy about Cambridge Commodities / the industry?

Everyone always says what an amazing team they have. Cambridge is a community, one that encompasses a wide variety of viewpoints and backgrounds. Ideas are thrown around and listened to by everyone. With decades of experience and knowledge to absorb, I am loving it. Add the fact that what we get, where it's from, how it was grown and processed all matter! I am so glad to be a part of this community. The focus on sustainability and regenerative practices is so important, more now than ever.

What do you like to do outside of work?

Growing up in the great Pacific Northwest has given me so many opportunities to enjoy nature and an active lifestyle. During the summer you may find us mountain biking one weekend, wakeboarding another, hiking and rockhounding the next. When winter comes along, weekends are spent with the family enjoying fresh Eastern Washington powder at the local ski hill. I am an automotive enthusiast through and through. Whether I am fixing or driving, I always have a good time!

With an affinity for holistic health since I was a child - I’ve made it my life’s work to share the power of raw, living foods with the world around.

Since graduating college, I’m blessed to have acquired a wealth of experience studying & working with superfoods on both a personal & professional level.

Having worked with organic & regenerative ingredients in both food service & distribution as well as from the perspective of a business owner, I have a diverse understanding of the high-quality products restaurants & CPG brands wish to purchase and also what it takes to market them effectively to the industry.

I aim to add value, efficiency and the highest quality of service with every interaction – from concept to completion, & thereafter.

As your dedicated ingredient supplier, I am devoted to serving the success of your brand and assisting in all the ways that I can to bring your visions to life.
