PROFILE
For the past 20 years I’ve been a logistics and supply chain professional. I have been involved with every type of logistics including trains, planes, barges, and trucking. Logistics has brought me as far north as the North Pole and as far south as the US Mexican border in Texas. I have experience in buying, sales, and I have being on both ends of the negotiating table of contract management and customer service. I am passionate about increasing efficiency within supply chains and building revenue. I am looking for an opportunity where I can leverage my extensive experiences in supply chain and logistics while diversifying my skill base. I appreciate exciting new challenges and have a thirst for learning.
