SUMMARY:

I have invested many years into furthering my education while working at Ocean Spray. I have

built a strong reputation and respect level with the company to a point they moved me from our

Sulphur Springs, Texas location in 2012, to our Tomah, Wisconsin plant to leverage my skills to

build a stronger Maintenance Department. After two successful years, I was looking to relocate

back to Texas to be closer to family. I am currently working at Cott Beverages in Fort Worth, TX

as the Maintenance Manager. I am wanting to get back towards Maintenance Management in the

East Texas area.
