I talk to people building software, build stuff myself, and run a podcast about it.

A very brief story.

I made my first serious sale back in school. My band played a show and we had to sell 20 tickets — I sold 16 of them. That's probably where my sales career started.

It's been over 10 years in IT and B2B sales now. I've had the privilege of working with multi-million-dollar companies — from $1–10M to $50–500M in annual revenue. Brands that deliver solutions to Meta, Coca-Cola, McDonald's, Google and many more.

Backstage Tech started as an extension of my passion for networking and talking to people. Especially entrepreneurs and experts in tech who are more experienced than me.

I've always gravitated toward people I could learn from. It's been a fun journey so far — hope you check out the pod below.
