When starting at Art Installation Design LLC I came into the industry with no art handling or installation experience. Within six months I was soft packing,slipcasing,shadowboxing,and crating high value art. From day one safely operated box trucks and sprinter vans in NYC on a daily basis. My starting rate was nineteen dollars hourly. After my probation of six months was up for review the company increased my wage to twenty five dollars hourly. Soon after installations,stretching,folding, and rolling of artworks began. Efficiency and constant growth only increased my knowledge of the industry as well as wage increases. All these skills and experience led me to continue my career at Fritz Ewins LLC. Where warehouse operations were also incorporated into my furthering art handling career. At the Art Institute of NYC I obtained my Associate degree in culinary arts and hotel & restaurant management. French Classical,Italian,Asian,Mediterranean and U.S. Regional cuisines were learned and completed. Managerial courses were also learned and completed such as Restaurant and Hotel Design & Layout,Marketing,Communications, Cost Control,Anatomy of a Business Plan and a Wine Tasting course. All these skills became essential in my everyday operations. I also acquired skills in coaching sports. Specializing in baseball and football. I started coaching sports after my semi-pro playing days were over and attended baseball clinics and football camps. Mentoring and leadership skills soon followed. Acquired my security guard license from Westchester Institute of Computer Technology.
