Objective:

With a history of proven success, growth and goals achievements, I wish to take a diversified

foodservice background and a proven track record in multiple levels of the industry and apply my unique

experience with a high profile company, contributing to expansion, growth and new market penetration.

Twenty Years of Entrepreneurial Experience

• 1980, purchased a local tavern, transformed it into a white table cloth Italian Restaurant, resulting

in a 400% increase of sales while establishing a diversified customer base and growth

• Expanded the operation by annexing a retail seafood market. By capturing a broader product line

and new revenue stream. The exposure enhanced both the existing business and help to jump start

the new venture to immediate profitability. A growth of over 30% was attained for the next three

successive years.

• 1987 founded Ferullo’s Wholesale Seafood Corporation. With experience in the sourcing of fresh

and local seafood, and the need to provide large customer demands, the wholesale division

created a powerful buying presence. The identity of the entire operation quickly changed to the

demands of supplying multiple levels of accounts. Expansion of business followed. All three

operations created a cross market compliment, benefiting each entity with quick turn over of

product, reduced shrinkage, buying power, healthy cash flow, and competitive pricing.

• 1992, Obtained national exposure through shipping fresh and frozen product in multiple states

and achieved state approved vendor status. Growth continued with a customer base that included,

major colleges and universities, the state prison and hospital systems, hotel chains, private

country clubs, independent retailers, healthcare and assisted care facilities, local restaurant chains

and independent, single unit operations.

• 2007 sold the company to relocate to Columbia, South Carolina.
