PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE

Fastenal Co.

Richmond, IN & Columbus, IN

1998 to 2006

My position with Fastenal Co. was that of General Manager with the

responsibility for all functions of the Columbus, IN facility. This is the

largest branch of the 20 facilities in the Southeastern IN region. Prior

to being promoted to General Manager and relocating to the Columbus, IN

branch, I was the Assistant Manager and then promoted to General Manager of

the Richmond, IN facility. I managed a multi-million dollar annual

operating budget while reducing expenses and costs.

I supervised a staff consisting of an Assistant Manager, inside and

outsides sales persons, Office Manager and a support staff person. While

under my direction at both Richmond and Columbus, five employees have been

trained and promoted to managerial positions.

During the years I was Manager in Richmond, I consistently maintained a 98%

sales goal average while showing a 16% sales growth pattern over a five-

year period. Due to these results, I was asked by the Regional Vice

President to assume the responsibility for the Columbus, IN branch.

A key objective of Fastenal is the control of the in-store inventory and

the maintenance of customers' stocked inventories. While General Manager

of the Columbus, IN branch, I reduced the inventory levels of the store, at

corporate request, by over $75,000 while increasing both the profit and

number of accounts respectively. During my career with Fastenal, I

developed an in-depth knowledge of vendor purchasing - JIT (Just in Time).

I was required to purchase product daily on a national level from numerous

vendors while being conscious of both inventory levels and profitability.

I developed an in-depth

knowledge of commodity purchasing, pricing and contract negotiations.

I have participated in several advanced training opportunities at

Fastenal's corporate level. The emphasis of these courses included lowering

expenses, increasing profits, customer-focus selling and advanced

leadership training. While participating in the customer-focus selling

conference, I was chosen as "Best in Sales" by a nation-wide group of my

peers.

I have supported numerous community service projects and made Fastenal more

visible in the community by staging several very successful open houses.

These efforts have resulted in positive feedback from both suppliers and

customers on the appearance of the facility and overall response to the

open houses.
