Work Experience
Vice president
Design Distributors Inc - Deer Park, NY
February 2016 to August 2018
The owner of Design asked me to join his company and help eliminate operational issues he faced on a continual
basis.
This was mainly quality, productivity, adherence to procedures and HR issues. I improved productivity, streamlined the warehouse so items could be located, which before was difficult at best.
Retrained existing personnel to improve quality, productivity, and adhere to procedures. Also eliminated redundant positions that reduced FTE and helped with margins. President/CEO
NorthStar Direct - Manchester, NH
January 2005 to February 2016
As much as I wanted to purchase an existing business, I couldn't locate one with the basic sales and equipment I
needed, so I looked for a location where I could start NorthStar from the ground up. This meant determining the proper location, up fitting the building for my operation, purchasing all of the needed
equipment, hiring of personnel, developing and implementing the processes and procedures needed to run the company.
I had some sales from a friend that owned another shop, whom I gave 10% of the company to provide me with the work he needed for his company that allowed me to focus on getting NorthStar up and running. Once the company was operational I took over sales as well as day to day operational responsibility Division Manager
Corporate Express - Omaha, NE
November 2002 to May 2004
As division Manager I was responsible for the entire division excluding sales, but which I worked with closely.
During my time there I planned and executed a number of strategys to stream line the operation, improve
productivity, train and groom personal for needed positions. As much as I liked the my job as Division Manager, I still had aspirations of owning my own business, which is
why I left to begin that process.
VP of Manufacturing
Precision Technology - Pembroke, NH
June 2001 to November 2002
My responsibilities at Precision was for the entire operation, from estimating to shipping the completed product.
In my time at Precision I was able to increase productivity 15%, reduce FTE to a level with the work load,
eliminate bottle necks that impeded the operation and improve margins. My intent in going to Precision was to purchase the company, which didn't happen as the owner decided not to sell.
Plant Manager
Colorforms - Tonawanda, NY

My responsibilities were for the entire of the plant as if it was a stand alone operation, rather than part of a larger
corporation.
This includes all aspects of the plant, sales, operations, quality, budgeting, financials, HR and conforming to
OSHA regulations.
When I assumed the Plant Manager position total revenue was approximately 13MM per year. I was able to grow the company to 39MM plus in sales within five years which increased profits exponentially.
