Summary

Dynamic individual with an emphasis in customer service and leadership. I have over 10 years of experience. I am committed to the success of my family, occupation, project, or the smallest task that I take on, and carry it out with time management, confident decision-making, critical thinking skills, and excellent follow through. I spent time in the United States Army as an Infantryman where I built strong values, morals, and work ethic. I have experience in sales as well. I manage several groups on Facebook. One group with over 150,000 members and another with over 75,000 members. I am on my Home Owners Association, and I volunteer at my local church. I am always trying to make the world a better place for everyone, one decision at a time.
