Summary
With over 23 years of experience in the telecommunications industry, I have successfully assumed leadership roles and effectively led teams, even without a formal title. At Spectrum, I transformed an undefined group into a cohesive team, efficiently managing vendor workloads and significantly reducing construction project build time. Additionally, I excelled in managing various permitting processes. My strength lies in developing staff members, helping them advance their knowledge and careers while teaching them valuable problem-solving skills. After dedicating 23 years to the cable company, I ventured into entrepreneurship by purchasing and successfully running a restaurant. In 2022, I sold the restaurant and transitioned into a role that aligns with my passion for vehicles of all kinds.
