About

Hey there! I'm Dillon Patterson, a Minneapolis-based dynamo in the world of sales and marketing, with a knack for turning challenges into triumphs. You know, I'm that guy who thrives in fast-paced environments, always ready with a plan and a smile.

Let’s talk about my strengths first - they're like my superpowers. Top of the list? Communication. I'm the person who can put thoughts into words like magic, making connections and sparking conversations that matter. Then there’s my Woo factor - yes, it’s actually called that! I love meeting new people, and there's nothing more satisfying than breaking the ice and forming meaningful connections. Adaptability is another big one for me. I'm a "go with the flow" kind of guy, taking life one day at a time and making the best out of every moment.

Now, let's dive into my professional journey. It’s been quite a ride, starting with over 13 years of problem-solving and quality assurance in various roles. From the military to the corporate world, I’ve honed my ability to motivate teams, provide top-notch service, and develop lasting client relationships.

I’m currently the Head of Sales and Marketing at Squabblr LLC, a tech start-up where I’ve been a jack of all trades - except programming, I leave that to the tech wizards. I’ve helped the company grow, tackled brand challenges, and learned to do more with less. Before Squabblr, I've had stints at ALDI, PHMG, Yelp, and Endurance Warranty, to name a few, each teaching me something new and exciting about sales, customer service, and team leadership.

My educational background? I'm polishing my marketing expertise with a Bachelor's of Science Degree at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. Before that, I explored general studies at Minneapolis Community and Technical College.

One of the defining experiences of my life was serving in the Army Reserve, including a tour of duty in Iraq. This period not only shaped my resilience and dedication but also taught me the value of teamwork and leadership under pressure.

In my downtime, you'll find me brainstorming the next big idea or connecting with people from all walks of life. I’m all about embracing diversity, exploring new perspectives, and finding joy in the little things.
So, that’s me in a nutshell - communicator, connector, problem-solver, and a perpetual learner, always on the lookout for the next challenge to tackle.

Let’s see what we can achieve together!
