Channel Sales Manager, NA, Korbyt

Digital Signage SaaS Channel Manager. Former AV Integrator (about 10 years), from Technician, to Tech Ops Manager, when the recession hit I got into sales and eventually the VP of Sales.   Proud Husband & Father.  My wife and I both served in the Army NG, where I had the invaluable experience of being an Infantry Officer and served a tour in Iraq.  My wife returned to Active Duty which is what took me away from my beloved AV Integration.  In 2019, I had the pleasure of joining the leading manufacturer in Digital Signage hardware.  I not only had the opportunity to learn and love the manufacturing side of the AV Industry but the often overlooked Digital Signage Marketspace.   2022 our family was ordered to be stationed in Fort Sam (TX), which brought me over to the SaaS side of AV/IT/Digital Signage & Corporate Communications.  As a SaaS company, we're almost 100% remote.
