Profile
I have a strong work ethic I learned from my parents from an early age because they owned their own
business. I understand how important a good employee is to a business and tend to look at a job from an
employer's point of view rather than an employee's. I feel a business is almost like a living, breathing
entity; good employees are the backbone, while customers are the lifeblood. Because I understand that
relationship, enjoy people, have a positive outlook, and a sense of humor, I tend to be successful in
whatever endeavor I take on.
Entrepreneurial executive with more than fifteen years of experience managing sales, marketing, and
personnel for both start-up and established companies.
