I have been a loyal, hard working, goal driven associate for the past 14 and a half years, here at RNDC. I have both On & Off Premise experience. Along with 3 years of Category Management experience. In those 3 years I was able to build good relationships with not only my competitors, but with the people at Ohio Liquor Control. And I have maintained those relationships since.


I am looking to grow even more with RNDC. I am proud to be an employee of this company and would love to be at the forefront in a management position to help the company and their Supplier Partners, boost a track record of success.
