The early years of Shad’s career were spent in the refining fires of a mid-market family business. Shad began as a Sales Professional where he was recognized as Salesman of the Year in his first year of full time sales. Shad was quickly promoted to Sales Manger where he was awarded Sales Manger of the year and eventually promoted to Vice-President of one of the largest of four divisions in the 40 year old firm.
