As you will see from my work history, I am a highly dedicated person. I spent 42 years with Spectrum Brands and really enjoyed the opportunities that I was offered. As my time continued with them, I knew the day would come that I would no longer be needed there. My goal was to coach, train, and promote growth from within our company so that when that day came, there would be a succession plan already in place. If given the opportunity, my plans would be to do the same for Beck's.
I am motivated, dedicated, and committed to doing the absolute best that I can do if given the chance.
