Summary

I have nearly thirty years of Ford parts and service experience. Most of this time has been spent in management roles. I've enjoyed the opportunity to have run successful departments and have a positive impact. I feel this may be a good time to pivot from this aspect of a long career, and start passing this experience on to the next generation of managers. I bring a relaxed approach to learning that helps employees feel comfortable taking instructions and with the learning process. I enjoy data and seeing where opportunities may be to squeeze a little extra from expenses, and add to the bottom line. I also enjoy looking at a departments workflow and seeing how to best maximize efficiency.
