I am a Chief Executive Officer and entrepreneur offering over 20 years of experience in building multimillion-dollar, highly competitive businesses. Additionally, I have a passion for exploring industries that push me outside my comfort zone and enable me to expand my practical knowledge and skills. Challenging myself has led me down a unique path that best describes me as “a jack of all trades.” My background reflects a blend of experience and skills spanning the following: • Actively participating in the construction of building and renovating my 14 Little Caesars Pizza stores.• Installing HVAC and walk-in coolers for my stores as an HVAC certified technician. • Launching startups and controlling all aspects of the business from taxes and payroll to generating millions in sales, such as Knoxville Sales, Inc.• Negotiating multimillion-dollar deals with suppliers to ensure a diverse base and to lock in prices. • Operating forklifts for my Knoxville Sales, Inc. business.• Leasing commercial properties out of a Real Estate holding company that I own. I lead by example and go above and beyond to support my employees in achieving their goals and taking care of their responsibilities outside of the workplace. Not only do I make a point to work beside them, executing whatever it takes to get the job done, but I also take time to know them and their families on a personal basis. Moreover, if I want them to perform their best, it falls on me to provide the benefits and compensation that allow them to come to work with minimal stress. As a result of my leadership approach, I foster a positive company culture that retains many employees for over 10 years.
