CAREER SUMMARY
After being in the truck and international airfreight business for 19 years
as a driver, I have made a transition into the film industry in Michigan.
In the last year in a half I have had the opportunity to learn the location
side of the film industry from some of the best managers and co-workers in
the business. I have successfully managed a crew of product specialist,
emcees and brand ambassadors for a Ford Motor marketing event on the west
coast. I have also worked as a dispatcher at the Ford Rouge plant and would
welcome the opportunity to work back in the shipping industry.
