SparkBase is a stored-value gift card and loyalty program provider.As a software as a service (SaaS) provider, the SparkBase platform instantly gives even the smallest merchant sophisticated gift card and loyalty programs typically found only at the largest retailers. By using the SparkBase network to power gift card and loyalty programs, financial services resellers and loyalty marketing agencies can provide a greater value to their merchants in this hyper-competitive environment. I have full accountability for the strategic direction and execution of the SparkBase sales efforts. My daily job responsibilities change each and every day, however, my focus remains the same; take SparkBase to the next level. We want to grow ten-fold in the next three years.

SparkBase is a hyper growth company; we are young and we are aggressive. Every day is a new challenge, we think quickly and move fast. I enjoy working with my colleagues, we are all moving in the same direction, everyone is focused on the same goal and our team is passionate. It is great to be surrounded by strong and successful people.

We recently participated in Movember. The Mo, slang for moustache, and November come together each year for Movember. Our entire staff of male employees grew mustaches in November.Movember challenges men to change their appearance and the face of men's health by growing a moustache. The rules are simple, start Movember 1st clean-shaven and then grow a moustache for the entire month. The moustache becomes the ribbon for men's health, the means by which awareness and funds are raised for cancers that affect men. Much like the commitment to run or walk for charity, the men of Movember commit to growing a moustache for 30 days.We laughed a lot and had a great time raising money for a terrific cause! We raised over $2,000.

I am an Ohio native. Ohio is a great place to work and live, each suburb has its very own flavor. We have terrific restaurants, museums, and theaters, Lake Erie and not to mention championship golf courses. From a business standpoint, Ohio has many young and thriving entrepreneurial businesses. Ohio will continue to add new jobs and this is exciting for everyone. Medina is great community; we have championship golf courses, we are the home of A.I. Root and the Root Candle Co. and our Main Street is lined with restaurants and shops; promoting rich traditions of community. Media Square always hosts fantastic events for the entire family and has a great festive feel regardless of the season10. Colleges/Universities you attended and city and state of each
