Engineer by training.
Closer by trade.
My grandfather, Dale DeWitt, a lifelong farmer, teacher, and eventually House of Representatives Majority Leader, is my hero. He has negotiated with world leaders such as Fidel Castro and dedicated his life to helping students, teachers, and farmers. He taught me that you show up early, you fix it yourself, and your word is everything. And when it all goes sideways: take a deep breath, everything is going to be alright.
I took things apart before I could spell them. Working since twelve. Finished every math course for the engineering degree while still in high school. Hungry from the start, and it hasn't worn off.
Two degrees from Oklahoma State, Mechanical Engineering and Economics, then a left turn most engineers never make: sales.
The habits carried over. Finding where a system breaks became market intelligence. Building things that run without you became outbound automation. Trusting the numbers became data driven sales.
Long cycles, technical products, global buying committees. I run a territory like a portfolio: time goes where the return is.

Where the four circles meet.
Ikigai is the Japanese idea of a reason to get up in the morning: the overlap of what you love, what you're good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for.
Mine is building sales engines for technical companies. I love the building. I'm good at the selling. Founders need it badly. And it pays. Most days the four circles line up, and the days they don't are the ones I learn the most from.
