I have been a designer and salesman in the kitchen cabinet business for almost thirty years. I started out as an apprentice and installer in New Jersey and continued to perfect my trade in Southern California and later in South Florida . I have, owned, worked at, and managed, kitchen stores that have strong retail and contractor relationships. I am recognized by my peers in Southern California and Florida as a top designer with strong closing skills. Between 1988 and 1993 I represented Bosch Kitchens and others in the competitive Southern California market. At that time I marketed Bosch Kitchens to other dealers and high-end multi-unit builders. While marketing their product I also negotiated several multi-million dollar sales. During more recent times I have worked at EXPO Design Center in Naples. There, I was a Project Designer, my responsibilities were from the initial meeting, qualifying, and designing, to closing the sale. Currently I represent Palm Bay Kitchen & Bath in Naples Florida
