Avid Outdoorsman, Highly Competitive & Joyful Spirit

With 20 years of experience in the industrial sales world as an inside and now outside salesman I would be very comfortable as an industrial buyer for your team. 

 The working history of these positions give me the knowledge and capabilities to ensure I would be getting the best deals from the right places.   As well as the product knowledge to ensure I would procure the correct items as I wouldn't be buying a part number but actually know what that part number is and in most cases its equivalent.
