Summary
Ambitious and outgoing leader with many years of manufacturing experience and 3 specifically in food manufacturing. Unique experiences from my many jobs, communication college coursework, playing collegiate basketball, coaching, and JROTC. This combination of different experiences helps me easily work with diverse ethnic backgrounds and keep team members motivated. I believe that the best leaders take time to get to know his/her team members on an interpersonal level. I've always given the same respect to the janitor as I would to the CEO of the company and that is one of the many reasons that I have always thrived in every role that I have been in.
