I am a results driven leader with 14 years of progressive experience

managing Wood costs, supply chain, safety, and organizational efficiencies

in various business markets both large and small. I am a loyal and

trustworthy manager and have taken on difficult assignments. Most

recently, I have been involved in resolving wood inventory issues,

developing business relations with wood suppliers, and disbanding employee

conflict. I ensure timely truck turnarounds, accurate inventory accounting

by utilizing SAP and LIMS reports, and have shared my perspective based on

factual data to improve our program performance. I have the verifiable

strengths of working closely with mill operations, purchasing, and

suppliers to manage deliveries, supplies, and customer relations.

Work History:

Domtar, Rothschild (July 2012-Current)

Wood Coordinator

Currently, I manage the Wood operations, supply and inventory at the

Rothschild Mill and offer oversight of our remote yards. I have created

quality control processes at our scale check points and have streamlined

our systems to improve cost and efficiency. I am currently working on

projects to reduce our Pulp Mill costs by $500,000. I supervise 27 hourly

employees and 1 salaried employee. I am responsible for the safe delivery,

handling, and processing of our largest raw material inventory to the mill.

I am proud to say that my areas have an excellent safety record and are

aligned with Rothschild's core mission, vision, and values.

Previous to this position, I was a Set up Supervisor in the Converting

department. I was a member of the Finishing Health & Safety Team, Mill

Confined Space Rescue Team, and HAZMAT team. I also volunteered on the

committee to update Local 2-319 Bi-Laws.

Crockett Septic LLC (April 2002- Current)

Operations Manager

I was responsible for planning, organizing, and optimizing the operation of

Crockett Septic which provided Waste Water Treatment service to a 4 county

area. I ensured compliance with federal, state and local regulatory

agencies such as the Wisconsin DNR and EPA. I grew a small business with no

contracts to managing over 1250 service contracts. Notably, most

contracts were consecutive 3 years contracts with Wood County Park &

Forestry in a sealed bidding format. I used my analytical, troubleshooting,

and decision making skills to build good business relationships with a wide

range of suppliers and grew our customer base in a challenging market.

Qualex, Kodak Eastman (2001-2003)

Operations Manager

I worked closely with suppliers to assure continuity of material supply and

negotiated pricing structures that were beneficial to all parties involved.

I conducted daily quality testing of our supply batches and finished

product. I ensured that photo lab employees working on 35mm process film

complied with federal and state laws as well as OSHA regulations. I

recommended feasible solutions for enhancing photo lab safety, quality and

performance, and successfully executed approved plans. I supervised the

training and certification of employees. I assigned, prioritized, and

followed up on assignments to photo lab staff while directing and providing

positive feedback.

Opportunity Development Center (1999-2001)

Production Supervisor

I supervised the daily safety, production, and training programs for a

company that delivers superior manufacturing and service solutions to

businesses by creating meaningful employment opportunities for people with

disabilities. I coordinated a two shift production team consisting of an

extremely diverse workforce. A large portion of my professional duties

revolved around negotiating contracts and pricing structures with large

clients such as Wal-Mart and Fiskars while protecting ODC and its stake

holders.

Georgia Pacific (1992 - 1999)

Production Laborer

I worked as a production employee in the Paper Machine area for five years.

I was awarded a posted position to the Nekoosa Power Department where I

spent the majority of my time in the Boiler House. My main function at the

Nekoosa Power Department was to supply all the raw material fuel to three

coal fired boiler systems. I was responsible for the successful delivery of

fuel using rail cars, hoppers, screening systems, screw conveyors and

belts. I was also a volunteer member of the HAZMAT, Ergonomics, and Safety

Team.
