Area Manager
Grover Beach,CA
Summary
When it comes to work or personal time I do my best to focus on the environment and community. As area manager I have reduced the amount of waste that this area creates. We have reduced paper products for a more digital approach to business. In my personal life I participate in beach and trail clean-ups monthly. Once a week I volunteer as a operator for a suicide prevention hotline. When I lived in Yuma Arizona I planned monthly clean-ups on trails and created a runners club that collected trash as we ran. I also have a 17 year old daughter that lives with me fulltime. I am able to balance a healthy work and personal life.

Environmental Interests
My biggest interest is helping the environment; whether it is the desert, the beach or the mountains. I participate in beach and trail clean-ups and go out on my own when I have time. A side project I like to do is recycling and upcycling to keep waste out of the landfills.
