Every figure is stated per employer, with the period it covers and what it measures. Personal and team-attributed revenue are labeled separately and never summed: combining them across employers would overstate the record, and the figures cover different spans and count different things, so they are not comparable to each other either.

Quick answers

Hiring-Manager FAQ

Logistics and verification questions, answered from the same documented sources as the rest of the page.

Where is Jay based — and is remote work an option?

Based in Austin, TX, seeking fully remote roles only. Home-based, no recurring travel. Sales experience spans in-person (in-home consultative) and phone/video (SaaS full-cycle) motions.

What is his current availability?

Actively interviewing — last confirmed July 2026.

What roles is he targeting?

Primary: Account Executive / Senior AE (SaaS, CRM, software), Inside Sales, and AI tools / technical software sales. Secondary: Technical AE, RevOps / Sales Ops technologist, and implementation-adjacent SaaS roles — see the Role Alignment table above.

How quickly does he respond to outreach?

Messages through the contact page, email, or LinkedIn get a reply within 24 business hours.

How should I read the revenue figures?

Per employer, never as a career total. Each figure names what it measures: SunPower $12.36M is tracked sales revenue across the tenure; Olly Olly $411K is annualized contract revenue in the first 12 months, not booked cash; Amazing Exteriors $1.4M is team-attributed revenue from the team Jay led, not personally closed. A single summed "career revenue" number is deliberately not published, because adding personal and team-attributed figures across employers would overstate the record.

How much of the experience is B2B SaaS specifically?

18 months of full-cycle B2B SaaS closing at Olly Olly (Nov 2024 – May 2026). The remaining 9+ years span residential solar and energy storage, home services, pest control, and consultative B2C. The SaaS motion is the most recent and the most directly transferable.

Is the technical work professional engineering experience?

No, and it is not positioned that way. The technical portfolio is one year of self-taught, hands-on learning projects built while carrying full sales quota — it demonstrates learning velocity and technical fluency that support sales conversations, not engineering credentials.

Ready to discuss fit?

Open to Account Executive, Senior AE, SaaS / CRM / software sales, technical sales, RevOps-adjacent, and sales-enabled project roles where revenue execution, CRM discipline, and technical fluency matter.
