Vice President of Site Services at SONCO

Based in Virginia, I’ve been with SONCO for over 15 years and currently serve as Vice President of Site Services at our Capitol Heights, MD office. I work closely with site service providers, fence contractors, and event professionals to support their rental needs for perimeter safety and crowd control. Before SONCO, I spent time working in the sports world, including roles with the NFL where I focused on logistics, sponsorships, branding, and site planning. That background helps me understand what it takes to keep fast-moving operations safe and organized. These days, you’ll also find me in front of the camera, walking through product tips, setup guides, and common jobsite questions on the SONCO YouTube channel. If you're looking for practical, no-fluff advice, my videos are a good place to start. Off the job, I’m usually on the golf course or playing guitar.
