The Huntsville Havoc is an SPHL professional hockey team in Huntsville, Alabama. We are a large part of the community and are constantly trying to give back. With a new record set this year for average attendance of around 6,500 people per game, we are fortunate enough to have a wide reach in the city. We volunteer at the local hospital, "Fun Center", library, elementary schools and many local businesses. The team prides itself on its involvement with the community.

I was one of seven consolers in charge of anywhere from 50-120 Children from 7 am-5 pm. The camp was an all-day sports camp where we played ice hockey, street hockey, baseball, volleyball, pickleball, football, and many other activates at throughout the day. We taught them how to be good athletes and good people.

I helped upper management with a variety of tasks such as scheduling staff, going over invoices, collecting debt, building rental procedures, reviewing financial records with the accounting department, and other necessary tasks.

I was a bartender that could work a Sunday brunch or a Friday night. I was always willing and wanted to work. I constantly dealt with small-town regulars that could be stubborn at times. It helped immensely with my small talk and people skills.

As a manager with opening and closing responsibilities, I had employees under me. This taught me how to be a respectful and responsible leader in the workplace. This also helped me with people skills.
