PrideStaff Columbia

Industries served
We support a diverse cross-section of industries, including manufacturing, distribution, logistics, retail, healthcare and professional services. Within these industries, we provide a full complement of workforce and placement solutions to support our clients’ needs in all aspects of operations, from office, clerical and customer service/call center to light industrial positions.

While our clients range from locally-owned small businesses to large corporate offices, they all share a common attribute: They place a high value on finding the right candidates for their company’s culture.

What makes us unique
Having lived in Howard County for years, I’ve grown to know and love Columbia and its surrounding neighborhoods. In that time, I’ve become invested in this area and actively volunteer my time to make our community a better place.

By living PrideStaff’s mission to “Consistently provide client experiences focused on what they value most,” my team delivers staffing and employment solutions that create a win for both parties: improving job seekers’ lives, while helping businesses achieve their goals.

Accolades
PrideStaff is a Best of Staffing® Client and Talent Diamond Award winner through ClearlyRated, which places us in the top 1% of staffing firms in the U.S. and Canada.

Background
In my most recent role as a Strategy and Operations Manager with Deloitte Consulting LLP, I had the opportunity to advise cross-industry leaders, helping them meet their performance goals by delivering high-impact project results.

Before beginning my professional career, I graduated from US Army Ranger School and served in the US Army for eight years. As a Combat Arms officer, I had the opportunity to lead soldiers in both Iraq and Afghanistan. After serving my country, I earned my MBA from the University of Michigan – Ross School of Business, and then spent two years in the logistics industry as a warehouse supervisor before becoming a strategy and operations consultant.

I thrive in team environments, I love to mentor and coach people, and I derive joy from seeing others achieve their goals. My diverse experience in military leadership, logistics and producing successful client outcomes allows me to understand and deliver on clients’ business and candidates’ employment needs.

What we love about Columbia
Columbia is situated squarely between Washington, DC and Baltimore, boasts a diverse population, and is the economic hub of Howard County. My wife, identical twin daughters and I love it here; the area’s vibrant arts and culture scene, as well as its beautiful parks, help Columbia consistently rank among the nation’s top places to live.
