My hobbies include fishing and golf, both competitively. I have fished in many tournaments and carry a single digit handicap at golf.
I am looking for an opportunity that is challenging and rewarding, having spent my entire career getting paid for what I produce. I am a self- starter with a very good understanding of markets and how they operate. My past experience in sales and sales training will make me a valuable asset to any organization. I can sell ice to an Eskimo, with the right product knowledge, and walk away his best friend.
