As the Warehouse Operations Manager my role is to oversee the warehouse and operational functions including logistics and management. Leadership of the supervisors and office staff to ensure a safe environment, healthy workplace, and the fostering of a developmental atmosphere are primary responsibilities.

 After successful completion of the Store Manager Training Program in May 2009, I assumed the Store Manager position at Store #2510 Espanola, New Mexico effective July 2009. The location was under performing on many critical metrics. During my tenure in Espanola, the location recognized a sales and profit performance turn around which significantly exceeded goals as well as tremendous gains in employee morale & career development. In September 2010 for personal reasons, I returned to Colorado as an Assistant Store Manager. Since my return to Colorado I have been requested and assigned to three different locations with responsibilities covering Operations as well as all Merchandising segments of the locations. June 2016 I accepted the Store Manager position at our Fountain Colorado store.
