Summary of Business responsibilities

June 2017-Current PCH 1 Ventures.

Owner; Self employed. Volunteer.

Over the last 3and 1/2 I have spent my time working with non-profit charities and businesses like Denton County Food Bank, Catholic Charities, Salvation Army and the Red Cross. I spent over 5 months in South Texas last year assisting on food logistics to ensure food availability to the people in the wake of hurricane Harvey. FEMA contract expired not renewed due to COVID restrictions and decreased government contracts . Working with these people has satisfied my desire to give back to my community. Something that I have overlooked in my working career. I am now challenged to return to the for profit business community and offer my experience as a manager and leader of people.
