About

Over 23 yrs of Leadership in multiple departments for a large distribution operation. Manage many areas of shipping, receiving and warehousing production to achieve business goals and objectives. Currently CEO/Own/Operate small corporation. I took a small investment of personal funds and have created a very profitable company. I’m able to effectively identify problems, create corrective measures through collaborative efforts and develop resolutions. I manage all areas of the business and collaborate/delegate as needed to ensure tasks are completed. I’ve built a highly productive staff and have built a positive reputation with our community, customers and various companies and vendors. We make it a goal to give back to our community as much as possible through donations, volunteering and sponsorships.
