Summary of Qualifications:
Having almost 20 years of retail experience, I have been fortunate enough to have seen many demographics of different cities and company ideals. Having success in each position, from shoe salesman to District Manager, I feel I have proven a great sense of diversification and sales knowledge to lead any team to a successful and sales driven environment. Success has come on various levels of volume, ranging from $1.5 million, where we had consistent increases of over 100% to previous sales, to my San Diego district leading the company in percentage sales to last year with a 98% increase. Two stores even posted a remarkable 150% plus achievement. Through strong goals, team commitment, and consistent feedback from the teams, I have helped create highly motivated sales environments that become passionate for both the employee and the customer.
