Goal To secure a position which will enable me to utilize my strong communication, negotiation, and management skills in a challenging environment that provides an opportunity for growth. Semi-retired in 2017, as I moved and relocated from California to Arizona. I have found semi-retirement to be rather boring, and I am looking to get back to the hustle and bustle of sales and negotiation.
