Additional Work Experience

Prior to attending college, I worked for my father in law's grocery

distribution business (Poulson's Inc). It was here that I learned perhaps

the greatest lessons of my career.

The first lesson I learned was to do "whatever needed to be done". To that

end, during my time working for Poulson's Inc, I learned, among other

things, to drive an eighteen-wheeler and to be a meat cutter in a grocery

store. If something needed to be done, someone had to step up or the job

would not get done.

The second important lesson I learned was the importance customer service.

We were always willing to do whatever the customer needed be done. We were

a small company and every customer was the lifeblood of our company.

These lessons have stuck with me throughout my career and continue to serve

me well to this day
