Lindsey Goodwin was born and raised in the small town of
Ennis, Texas. After high school, she attended Texas
A&M University and graduated in 2001 with a BBA in
Finance. She promptly moved to Houston, Texas upon
accepting a Consultant position at a national state and
local tax-consulting firm. After working for the
company for 1˝ years she was promoted to Senior
Consultant and made the project lead for a San Jose
based client.
On her first trip to San Francisco, she
knew this was the place for her and one month after this
visit, the company decided to open a San Francisco
office and Lindsey submitted her transfer request
immediately. She was offered the position in San
Francisco and moved in April 2004. She stayed at her job
for one more year until leaving in April 2005 to pursue
a sales career by joining BrandVia Alliance in July 2005
as a Sales Associate. She was at BrandVia for one year
before being approached by Peerless Umbrella Co., and
accepted the position as Northwest Regional Manager in
June 2006. Lindsey currently resides in Redwood City, CA
with her husband and her beloved 16-year-old dog,
Snickers.
