01 / The Origin

Why this work exists.

For 30 years I've sat in the seats most consultants only describe. I've carried quotas. Built pipelines. Run teams. Closed deals that mattered and lost deals that should have closed. I've sat in forecast calls where the slope held — and forecast calls where it didn't.

What I learned in those rooms is that almost every sales organization confuses a spike for a system. They mistake a hot quarter for compounding advantage and panic when the slope flattens. The cost of that confusion — across the companies I worked in, and the ones I now work with — is staggering.

Frontline to Forecast exists to close that gap. The Domination Curve and the I.R.C. doctrine are the tools I built from inside the operator seat. Not from a conference stage. Not from a methodology workshop. From actual forecast calls where the slope had to hold or the number would not.

This isn't thought leadership. It's a working practice.

Career Arc I've spent 30 years in the uniform and linen services industry, working my way up from a branch manager to a senior national sales leadership role overseeing North American operations. Today I lead a sales organization of roughly 500 professionals across 7 regions and 82 facilities, with influence extending into operations across Europe, South America, and Asia-Pacific. I've consistently delivered double-digit new business growth for a multi-billion dollar organization while overseeing a corporate account portfolio that represents nearly 30% of total annual service revenue. I served three years as Chairman of a national industry committee for sales, marketing, and service, and received a 2026 industry-wide Volunteer Leadership Award for shaping the sector's commercial direction.

I built Frontline to Forecast on one conviction: most companies don't have a strategy problem — they have an execution problem. And accountability delivered with empathy is the highest form of respect you can show your team.
