Manager Management

Profile

I am a capable, results oriented general manager with experience leading high performance

teams. For the majority of my career, I was a residential electronics systems integration

professional involved extensively in management and business development. As a system

designer I was responsible for design and implementation of extensive integrated systems

projects in some of the most prestigious homes and businesses across North Carolina and

the surrounding region. I am a CEDIA (Custom Electronics Design and Installation

Association) Certified Professional Designer. I have specialized in business-to-business

marketing to partner firms in the high-end residential and commercial building market

including architects, builders, and interior designers. With Talley Machinery Corporation, I

added manufacturing and parts distribution management to my extensive skillset. I bring a

professional and experienced management approach along with creativity and

communication expertise to all aspects of business.
