I strive in high stress situations.

My work as an operator in the military put me in charge of indigenous people from all over the world in very high stress situations. Most of these people did not speak English therefore adding to the communication hurdles. I never give up and will finish the job to the nth degree.


I have spent the last four years in car sales and have so far been very successful. I enjoy the raised stress environment as it forces all to dig deep and overcome any negatives for a positive conclusion. Customer service can be extremely stressful and I have learned to use stressors as tools to achieve success.
