Summary

I have worked in the retail industry for the last 30 years. With Lowes I've been in 3 departments, flooring, kitchen design and currently in appliances. I am a very professional person and would like the opportunity to work with a team that's not in a warehouse environment. I have a very physical job and don't mind that aspect whatsoever, I intend on working well past my retirement years
