The Pandemic really did change how we do things! In my current position my brick and stone office is located in Fresno, (Central) California with the Coporate office in Southern California. The pandemic required that I relocate to Alabama where I became a Hybrid employee working remotely and traveling back to California often and as needed. I've become quite tech savvy with this change. I'm open to relocating, working remote, and traveling if needed. Willing to relocate: Anywhere
