SAMUEL MCCONNELL

Growing up, I've always been taught the importance of hard work and never giving up. In my younger years I had made extra cash by working odd jobs such as landscaping, painting, construction, plumbing and some electrical work, all before I was legally aloud to be employed . I've learned the importance of being a 'Jack of all trades' and those skills have helped me in everyday life as well as professionally, my first legal job was at a restaurant where I ran food to customers for $2.13 an hour and I truly learned the value of a dollar After high school I joined the United States Navy as an Aviation Ordnance man. I learned special team leading skills and got to travel all around the world learning different cultures and experiences other people had to offer. I believe this experience helped mold me into an ambitious, understanding and well rounded individual that helped me succeed once I left the military. The importance of hard work and wide skill set has helped me move from a lead janitor all the way to an Operations manager in just one and a half years in my current company. I’ve been an Operations manager at 4 different clubs ranging from Jacksonville Florida to Atlanta Georgia and I thrive wherever I am positioned.
