Summary

With a diverse background in transportation, accounting, company management, property management, and contracting, I bring extensive experience to the table. As an owner-operator in the transportation industry, I have developed valuable skills and capabilities beyond transportation alone. Possessing a Class A driver's license, as well as licenses for forklift and scissor lift operation, I am highly knowledgeable in various industry segments. Additionally, I have six years of experience as an accountant, managing bookkeeping for over 100 client companies. During this period, I represented these companies before the Hungarian tax authority, demonstrating my ability to handle complex financial matters. Furthermore, my tenure as a company manager and CEO in Hungary has equipped me with the necessary skills to navigate local laws and regulations. Currently, as the manager of a food import company, I oversee all permits and ensure compliance with FDA regulations. My certification in handling documentation between the company and the FDA showcases my attention to detail and expertise in this sophisticated field. Moreover, I possess seven years of property management experience across two countries. From overseeing rent payments to supervising building maintenance personnel and managing utility bills, I have consistently proven my ability to handle various aspects of property management. Lastly, my background as a general contractor in Hungary has provided me with construction experience that translates well to overseeing maintenance works and handling emergency situations effectively. While there may be differences between Hungary and the US, my knowledge allows me to adapt and excel in any environment. Overall, my diverse skill set and extensive experience make me a valuable asset in various industries.
