Over the last 25 years I have mostly been in sales and marketing. They are as follows:
Experience:
• August 2007 to current: I became an insurance broker with National Brokers Network brokering for multiple insurance companies.

After 90 days of enormous success they offered me a full time position and moved me to their corporate offices here in Arlington, Texas. I traveled to our remote offices in Boston, Stamford, CT, Knoxville, Austin and Greenville, SC. I was involved in recruiting and working with outside marketing companies as well for the purpose of increasing our sales and revenue. We finally closed our offices in June 2007.

In the fall of 1994 we contracted at the Rainbow River Resort in Florida for upgrade and new memberships. I became the project director at the Rainbow River Resort with six employees. That contract lasted through most of 1995.
• 1987 to 1992 Long Distance: I was the regional sales manager for 4 Florida based long distance companies. The reason for so many companies is at that time Large LD companies were acquiring smaller companies. Most ended up being MCI WorldCom. I had offices in Ft. M
