years of professional experience
Summary
Since the beginning of being a performance consultant at BCP I have generated just shy of 8 figures in NET sales for the company. I have been in charge of countless projects & vehicle builds for high profile clients including players from the Detroit Lions. I have spent my years as a consultant researching and staying up to date on my profession. I work well both alone, or with a team. Maintaining good relationships with customers and colleagues is important to me. I have been trained and certified in Synchrony car care financing & have received rewards for my organizational skills for myself and the company. One of my more notable projects was a 1955 Chevy pickup that I managed an entire engine & transmission swap on with a direct injection Corvette engine. That invoice was in the 6 figure range, and involved critical thinking, planning, and budgeting to complete.
