14 Years of Beverage Sales Experience

I started as a Merchandiser with MillerCoors after college and after 6 months moved up to Sales Rep.  I Worked for MillerCoors for 2 years before Anheuser Bush made me an offer I accepted.  After 12 years of being a Sales Rep with AB, it was time to move out of Colorado and come to Wisconsin where I found a new career in food sales with Sysco.
