Summary

My background in the Army Reserves, running a trade desk at the CBOT, and as a replenishment manager at Mariano's has instilled in me a strong work ethic and great managerial skills, particularly in team management, time management, and morale building. In railroad operation, I have experience as a footboard yardmaster which has given me experience in managing yard operation. I believe that I would be an asset to any company I work for.
