Accomplishments
Vast history in sales, logistics, routing and management. Employed by NAPA My work experience started as a delivery driver and parts counter sales associate in the days we used the 4' wide catalogs to research parts. I progressed to outside sales and store manager.
Went on to Pepsico where I started in route sales and continued until was a territory manager. Some of my duties along the way included defensive driving training of route people.
Started my own business with 2 successful cycling shops that I owned and operated for 20 years.
Now semi retired I have returned to the work force to supplement my income. I intend to work for about 3 more years to pad my retirement.
For the last year and a half I've been employed by WalMart.
I have always been a car enthusiast and would enjoy returning to that field.
