Work Experience
Manager/Legal Consultant
Home Solutions - Waynesville, NC

I oversaw jobs in progress as well as worked on them. It was a small remodeling business so I did whatever was needed of me. In addition, I drafted all legal contracts as well as interpreted down to both the owner and president of the business as well as the perspective and contracted client. Project Manager
MPV Morganton Pressure Vessels, LLC - Marion, NC
January 2014 to April 2017
It was my job to oversee all sample products that were requested by existing and new customers. I was responsible for the sample from its earliest development stages to the finished product. There’s also my job to communicate with the customer in regards to issues, changes, and time needed to complete the project. Once the sample was completed and approved by the customer and then passed it along to the production side who would then take it from there. Overall at any given time I would handle as many as 20 different samples and then my estimation of fewer than 10. I had a crew of about 15 men and women working under me.
