My objective is to bring my skills and talent to a position that is going to

allow me to grow and flourish in my Marketing/Advertising background. To

and finally to change peoples day by my positive outlook on life and fresh

perspective of " Positive affirmation will create positive results "

F U NCT I O NA L SU M M A RY

After 23 years of Marketing and Advertising experience There is not many things I

can not do. However if there is a program or task I can not complete I will be the

first to ask for assistance. My strengths are in the creative side and design.

Photoshop, illustrator. Vector, and suite are second nature to me. And because of my

personality I am a very strong salesperson.

As the Owner and CEO of a advertising agency here locally a lot of my skills came

through self taught or learn on the job techniques, and of course the young talent I

would bring into the firm I became a sponge and absorbed all the most current

programs and software available to the market. So as the market changed so did our

company.
