Scott D. Baker

Maple Valley,WA

Summary

My objective is to bring my experiences in leadership, management, project coordination, inspection and ownership to the open position of Night Facilities Manager.


I have more than 19 years of retail, 14 years of management and 12 years of business ownership in my professional work history. This has given me the experience in leading employees, building teams, managing projects, working with little to no supervision and a passion to seek save stories in this penny business.

As you will see below, I have a proven track record of taking on positions of progressive responsibility in the warehouse and corporate environment. Even though I absolutely love my current position, there still is a hunger to take on new challenges.


In reading through the job description, this appears to be a perfect fit based on my past experiences. I know, going forward we can be partners in success for the company and myself personally.
