Summary

In 1995, I started with Famous/Pittsburgh Plumbing, and they gave me the opportunity to succeed. I have since developed into a warehouse manager and team member who wants everyone to grow and flourish.

Through these years, I have been able to grow teams that have met and exceeded customer needs and expectations.

In the newest role I have, I have been able to set up a system in an empty building that has been able to work and evolve in our shipments to our national accounts teams along the eastern seaboard. As does everything, we have run into obstacles and overcome them as a team.

Taking the time to grow and learn with a team will solidify the team and make them succeed as a unit.
