I have been in sales and operations management my entire career. It began with Tim Hortons where I progressively worked my way through several positions and became a District Manager for the TDL group o/a Tim Hortons. I moved into an independent role as store operator in 2000. In 2007, I was intrigued by a new brand and purchased a business called 1-800-GOT-JUNK? It was fun, dynamic and challenging. In 2009, an opportunity outside of retail developed and provided further diversity. I accepted a sales and operations manager position for Wilderness Environmental Services. After 4 years of service for Wilderness, I moved to DBI Services to further develop my experience in vegetation management where I was employed as a Branch Manager for Eastern Canada. In 2014, I was afforded the opportunity to channel my vegetation management experience. As a Territory Manager for Veseris my responsibilities included sales, logistical and technical services by representing a large portfolio of herbicide and equipment solutions for the Industrial VM, Forestry and Non-Cropland sectors. I continue to work in this sector as a self employed contractor supporting the industry through sales and support.
