From closing.
To building.
To scaling.

Before there were results,
there was belief.

I was born in Belts, Moldova—one of Europe’s poorest countries. When I was two, I moved to Tacoma, Washington. I didn’t choose where my story started. But I’ve always believed I could have a say in where it went.

Long before I had sales numbers or teams to point to, I had faith that I would make it here. Not because I knew exactly how it would happen. Because I believed my starting point didn’t have to decide my future.

But belief only means something if you’re willing to back it up.

For me, that meant taking risks and working hard. Moving toward an opportunity without a guarantee. Being willing to start, put in the work, and earn the result instead of waiting until the outcome felt certain.

At 18, I found my way into sales.

Sales became the place where that belief had to turn into action. Ambition was one thing. Learning how to close was another. I had to build a skill that could produce a result—not just talk about the future I wanted.

Then, in May 2020, I joined Zak Rawson and Selling To Closing as the company’s first sales rep. That’s where my S2C story began. Not as a partner. Not managing a roster of teams. As the person doing the closing.

I spent the next three years closing sales. That part of the journey matters to me. Before I moved into building teams, I did the work myself. My foundation wasn’t a title. It was time spent in the role.

The next step was bigger than my own numbers.

Closing was one chapter. Building teams became the next.

The challenge changed: from what I could produce as an individual to what we could accomplish as a team. It was another step forward without a guaranteed outcome—and another reason to back my belief with work.

Since then, I’ve managed more than 10 sales teams and successfully built and scaled teams from $0 to $1,000,000 per month in the information-product space.

Those numbers are part of my story. But so is the progression behind them: starting in sales at 18, becoming S2C’s first rep, spending three years closing, and then stepping into building and leading teams.

Today, I’m a partner at Selling To Closing. The company I joined as its first sales rep is the company I’m now helping build. My personal journey and S2C’s story are connected—and I’m proud of that.

There’s a person behind the performance.

I’m also a father. I live in Odessa, Florida. Outside of work, I enjoy outdoor adventures and days out on the ocean.

That belongs in the story, too. I’m not just a sales number, a title, or the teams I’ve managed. I’m someone who came from Moldova, grew up in Tacoma, and kept believing there was a future worth working for.

I’ve always had faith I could make it. The risks and the hard work are how I’ve backed that faith.
