Summary

I have been in sales for the last 20 plus years. I enjoy helping others with their home projects. I enjoy working with other employees, whether I'm training them or working side by side. I don't mind driving long distances. I currently drive up to 500 miles to a customer's home and back.

I would like to settle into a position where I am more of a manager and remain in one place for the remainder of my working life. I would enjoy teaching others what I have learned over the years as well as what I will learn in the future.
