Summary

Years ago, I moved from a 15 year successful career, as the Chef at the S&S restaurant in Cambridge, to a Service Advisor position at BMW of Peabody. At that time I was a collector of vintage BMW's, and thought it would be fun. Through hard work I continued my career and am looking for a position, that will allow me to use my years of experience as both a mentor and problem solver.

While employed as Service Manager at Herb Chambers Volvo Norwood, I was approached by Corporate and asked to take over the Service department at Bentley Boston. This was a difficult choice, as I enjoyed my position and all staff members.

This dealership sold and serviced Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Lamborghini , Maserati and Alfa Romeo. Handling 5 manufacturers, with 2 advisors and 6 technicians, was not an easy task. Although I felt as I had made strides in improving productivity and creating strong processes, I was terminated the week prior to Christmas.
