Summary

I began in the restaurant and bar business for the first 10 years of my working life. Before moving to NWA in 2005. I then started my work with UPS. Working from the early morning shift unloading and loading trucks, to driving and delivering multiple daily routes. I soon found my calling in the furniture and design world. Starting off working with a succesful local furniture business. Before moving to Bassett Home Furnishings. I was then able to progress and develop my sales abilities, along with my design and marketing capibilities for the first few years before moving on to the Store Manager position. I have since grown even more in all aspects of the retail business and what it takes to lead, grow, and manage a team, sales, and a business.
