About Me
Provoking thought and providing instant pain relief for Talent Sourcing and Recruiting agony since 1996.
Raised in Colombia, South America, I completed a dual Bachelor of Science in International Business and Intercultural Communications at Rochester Institute of Technology. After graduating I completed a tour of service with the United States Peace Corps in Nicaragua then settled in Atlanta where I now live in with my wife Stefanie and our two children.Some call me the Father of Modern Sourcing. Others know me as the creator of the original Sourcing Cheatsheet, the one that started it all, and launched the sourcing industry. Perhaps you have seen me at one of the thousands of presentations I've given worldwide, or you read my new book The Sourcing Method (978-0-9998081-0-8), published in 2018 but as a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer I am really just a teacher at heart.
