Summary

I am a highly motivated professional with a proven track record of success in the transportation and logistics industry. Beginning my career as a Road Driver and progressing to the role of Union President, I advanced to Supervisor and ultimately became a Regional Manager for Hallcon Crew Transportation in the Chicago Market. My extensive experience spans both the operational and managerial facets of logistics, managing 100 vans and overseeing 300 employees. Since relocating to Minnesota in late 2017, I have successfully opened new rail crew contracts. I possess a foundational understanding that effective leadership is rooted in strong communication and teamwork, driving results and fostering a collaborative work environment.
