["First Day...Four Questions" will be an ongoing blog series throughout 2013 as we on-board dozens of new team members. We want you to understand what makes our new colleagues tick. And what drives them to be "serious competitors." We hope you enjoy.]

<span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Why eGroup?</strong></span>

There are a few reasons why I joined eGroup. First, being a smaller company where I could have a large revenue generating impact. Second, because of the competitive nature and culture of everyone working here. It’s great to work for a company that demands a high level of engagement from their employees. I was drawn to eGroup because I can expand our reach to the Charlotte market and help our customers to be the most successful in their industry.

<span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>What makes you a serious competitor?</strong></span>

My competitive nature stems from my serial entrepreneurial attitude. I started my first business in high school and have since been eager to compete for anything. I most recently sold my business that captured over 20% market share in under 3 months and had an ROI of over 1200% after 18 months. Needless to say, I love making things happen and seeing projects in motion.

I would be a professional ski bum with a mountain biking problem.

<strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">What’s your Headline?</span></strong>

"For smooth sailing you need a strong Hull."
