In today’s competitive environment, a company is only successful if the entire team is successful. I have worked for goal-oriented companies that challenged all aspects of my sales, managing and marketing skills and I am at my best when others depend on me to get the job done. I have sold and managed in the hardware industry; the toy/gift industry; and the material handling industry and have excelled in all arenas. I enjoy managing, motivating, and closing each opportunity. As a manager, I sought hard-working and inspired sales people who possess an intense desire for success. With over twenty years of sales experience, I will be a valuable asset to your organization. I strive to have the opportunity for a position with impact, growth and learning opportunities. I work independently and hope for a position that will allow decision-making, risk taking, and mentoring.
