I had the honor of serving 6 years in the USMC where I had the privilege of leading many exceptional individuals. I used this experience serving my community in the Fire department when my Military service ended. The benefit of my GI Bill, allowed me to obtain an International Management degree from Virginia Commonwealth University which allowed me to excel at Lowe's, where I was the Pro Department Manager. While in this position, I successfully lead a team of 15, and supervising 75 active accounts. With my success, I had the opportunity of assuming an ASM position at the leading contractor store in our district where we consistently win awards in customer service and reaching sales goals. Currently, we have 170 employees, which is expected to climb during spring hiring, and reaching 45 million in sales.
