SUMMARY

I am a hands-on leader who has been successful in nearly every challenge I am presented with. I have had the pleasure of working my way up the ladder from stocking parts, coordinating logistics, becoming the director of operations, and becoming the vice president of a multi-million-dollar company. With 10 years of regular improvements, I have earned promotions based on my performance and dedication. This fuels my drive to improve myself and the company. I have a strong focus on quality. I believe that company and customer satisfaction is imperative to the success of the company. I am in search of my next challenge with a company that values the efforts of their employees.
