About

Working and dealing with the public is something that I enjoy. I find building a successful team to be very self motivating as well as a personal challenge. I believe hard work naturally brings success. A wise person once told me to never expect people to perform a task that you are not willing to personally take on yourself. Specialties: Common sense approach. Mechanical ability to visualize change. Purchasing, IT knowledge, Ability to Teach and Train, Ability to overcome, MS Office, Employee negotiations, Budgets, P&L's - Purchasing, Construction and facility planning.
