About

One of my earliest vivid memories was nosing through 3M brand facility maintenance, PPE, & JanSan samples in my best friend's garage. I was intrigued with his father's busy travel schedule, revolving door of innovative products & the stories of how he helped his clients grow their business. My love of travel, sales, and a passion for helping clients find the most-operationally efficient solutions has evolved into a successful career of bundling janitorial, PPE, food packaging/containers, & protective films programs into a TRUE TOTAL RETAIL SERVICE. I have been fortunate to work with multi-national businesses that are leaders in their industry, developing an expertise in customer service, demand management, order management, savings analysis, change management, & strategic supplier globalization. My pursuit of personal & professional goals is unwavering, built on strong business acumen, ethics, and hard work. I am thrilled to learn and grow with the Bunzl family and am ready to put in the hard work always putting customers first. If you are a grocery store, chain, food processor and/or in packaging supplies redistribution open to a discussion and want to learn more about partnering with a trusted advisor that continues to invest in it's clients' success, please get in touch with me at [email protected]
