Summary

Dedicated and organized operations manager with several years of experience using proven planning and support initiatives to cut costs, streamline operations and increase productivity. Decisive and resourceful team builder versed in sales, management and process improvement. Possesses in-depth industry trend knowledge and shifts to offer valuable insights on opportunities for new growth and business expansion.

I believe the way to succeed is to believe in your employees, to give them ownership in decisions and include them in building a successful company. I am a firm believer in giving everything you can to get the job done. from my experiences I have worked 15 hours, 18 hours, and 20 hour days. I don't believe in giving up, everything can get better if you just keep trying.

My biggest upside/downside is the same. I don't mind getting dirty. I grew up from a 16 year old kid to 48 and 3/4's adult. most of my life has been working, helping, making things better. I never avoided hard work. I actually enjoy it. I wont do your job for you but I will work with you side by side from sun up to sun down if needed
