Testimonials

Charles was tasked with no less than the complete reorganization of the Environmental Services warehouse in supporting the transition to centralized purchasing. This included identifying, labeling, and the physical relocation of all parts, as well as loading all of the inventory data into WAMS. He is also now the primary for receiving, while also responsible for the majority of the purchasing within the department. He carries out these efforts diligently and with little supervision.
