["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><b>Why eGroup?</b></strong></span>

I have been in technology software sales for over a decade, and eGroup is going to give me an opportunity to break into a new technology discipline. The company has grown by leaps and bounds and I believe I will have great success. To top everything off the culture is second to none!

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

I like winning! I have played sports all my life (baseball, basketball, tennis, etc) and that has really given me a competitive edge. I still play in various basketball and tennis leagues. This all fed into my choice of Sales for a career.<b>

<span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>If you weren’t in Tech what would you be doing?</strong></span>

If I weren't in tech I would still be in sales. I started my career in Insurance (following in my father's footsteps) and had I not moved to Charleston and hooked on with Blackbaud, I would have stayed in the insurance game. Sales is in my blood, you might say.
