SUMMARY
I am a passionate leader who enjoys meeting with companies to develop lasting business partnerships that benefit both my company and the clients. Words that describe me are: Ethical, respectful, accurate, organized, good communicator, good listener, complete, thoughtful, hard-working, and caring. I would like to be known as a leader and not a boss who was a good mentor for his employees and provided the company with a great return on their investment. You can expect me to bring honesty, integrity, a sense of humor and a passion for helping my employees and the company achieve their goals. The part I love most about the work I do is learning from others and creating opportunities for synergies between two companies. I love developing new relationships and sound business partnerships.
