About

With my years of experience in the job force I've become proficient in Procurement, Strategic sourcing, Logistics, Operations management and have intermediate experience in IT. Traveling in the Asia Markets I've honed my skills to build relationships with people of many different cultures and have been successful in growing those relationships and in turn helping to grow the companies I've worked for. I've been in several different industries which has in turn helped to grow my skill sets as well. I've worked in Warehousing and Food Procurement on a national level, Brass, Plumbing, and machine production on a global level. Being able to work and excel in these different facets of business has allowed me to bring a unique perspective to any company that I work for and produce positive results.
