In 3 years grew our sales to 3.7 Million dollars and added over 1.5 Million dollars in profit.
Keys to my sales successes are building relationships with our existing cliental, help find new ways to
maximize their profit potential, and use those same skills to earn new business.

or finished goods, documentation and implementation of a very large and comprehensive safety program,
quality control, planning and execution of the entire operating budget.
