Moving my way through many levels of responsibility becoming a Department Manager, Assistant Manager, Store Manager, District Manager on the Wholesale side and currently a Retail Grocery Business Owner. I've mentored many individuals during my career, some of which are currently Managers at different levels. I am proficient in all aspects of profitable retail operations.
