Additional Information
I do understand that I might not meet all of the requirements for this position. However, I do believe that I would be an excellent candidate if offered an interview. I also believe that a resume lacks depth in regards to aspects of my identity, resume content, integrity, and work ethic.
With being a Managing Partner with Barnes & Carpenter, Inc. I've had to orchestrate helicopter charters for clients, procure certain items for clients, orchestrate private chef dinners on a whim, and much more in a timely, effective, and organized manner.
Please do not let my current location deter you from my application, as I would move if offered the position.
