As Warehouse Manager I directed the successful operation of daily workloads such as receiving, shipping, picking, inventory control, will call, and the overall safety of employee and customers.

Lead, directed, and managed inbound and outbound site operations to ensure that the operations staff executes service operating procedures at or above company standards. Maximinze productivity through superior leadership abilities, effective and prompt communication and follow-up on all pending matters with the senior management and human resources.

Managed daily staffing scheduled and adjusted accordingly to ensure adequate levels to support operational demands and business objectives. Managed inventory and expenses to reflect budget constraints.

My first job without having to put on the Air Force blue. Some of the responsibilities included the Bulk Order fullfillment operation. Ensured directives, rules, and procedures were communicated to all operations staff. Ensured departmental budgets were within set guidelines and followed up on procedures to keep operational cost down not to exceed planned budget.

Devoted 20 years of service to the safety of our great nation. It was an experience to see the world as some put it.
