Summary
I have 12 years of experience, including as an Aftermarket Sales and as a High-
Reach Operator in industries including Wholesale Trade-Durable Goods and Food
Stores.
Most recently, I have been working as an Aftermarket Sales Manager for Krauss-
Maffei Corporation which began February 2005 to May 2012. My experience with
Krauss-Maffei was not limited to aftermarket sales; I started in February 2005 as a
temporary in the shipping department. My attention to detail moved me out into the
production shop as parts management and later installation technician. This was
followed up by Krauss-Maffei's launch of an SAP inventory system which I took all
classes and due to my experience and agility with the system, I was promoted to
Aftermarket Sales and Repair Service manager.
I hold a GED General Education Degree (High School non-graduation degree) in
General from KY Board of Education.
