My current role in the MPC Supply Chain organization involves working on freight carrier and logistic company contracts for utilization with the refining, pipeline and terminal organizations. I get involved in all types of transportation requests, which includes small parcel shipments, LTL, Truckload and expedite shipments. I am currently involved in a Managed Inbound Freight project for Supply Chain. The goal is to convert PrePay & Add freight opportunities to Collect and reduce freight expense to the company. This is going to be a huge project over the next several years due to the growth of MPC from 2018.I have work experience in the Procurement Card Program at MPC. I was involved with this program from 2007 thru March of 2019. I was involved in a formal bid of financial institutions in determining the bank to be used for the card program in 2011. I played a key role in the P-Card process for Concur Expense for the reconcilement of expenses with this cloud-based software. I was involved in the testing of the system for IT, along with a creation of rules to be used with the tool for Supply Chain and the company to be followed. When I left the P-Card program foe MPC, the monthly spend with this card program was averaging $1.5 million a month.From 2000 till 2007, I was the MPC Fleet Administrator within Supply Chain. At that time, I was the lead individual within Supply Chain that worked on the company vehicles, leased and owned. I worked with Wheels Inc. & PHH as the fleet management companies during this time frame. I believe there were over 2000 company vehicles in the program. I was doing this work as fleet administrator as well as working on transportation issues for Supply Chain.I have been an active member of MPC's Corp. Emergency Response Team (CERT) from 2005 when Hurricane Katrina hit the US and into 2020 for the COVID19 event. I have been involved in responses from product releases and natural issues, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, etc.

I worked as contractor in Marathon Ashland Petroleum's Commercial Services (Purchasing) program. I worked in the office in Findlay, OH working on 3rd party freight issues and I got really involved in transportation for the Catlettsburg, KY refinery. I eventually got to work on the fleet administration program in purchasing for the last year that I worked as a contractor. My experience with the fleet administration program lead to my employment at Marathon in April 2000. A job was created that I applied for, with other candidates and I was hired in April of 2020.

I originally started at Neo-Wood Products in 1986 as a draftsman for the factory on furniture that was made by the facility. When the work for drafting started to slow up, I started on time studies on the plant assemblies to try to get an idea on the average time to build furniture. I eventually transitioned into a supply room attendant. It was my job to fill out requisitions to get corrugated boxes, nails, screws safety supplies that were needed for plat use. I did this job for a few years and eventually started helping place purchase orders for the buyer at the company. She had some health issues and I helped her out. Eventually, I was promoted as the buyer for the company and held that position until the day the factory was closed. Neo-Wood Products was renamed Phoenix Furniture Company in 1996 until it closed in the spring of 1998. I was involved in monthly inventory of the plant for accounting, as well as receiving goods into the company. By working for a small company, I was able to learn about A/P, A/R and I had to work on the inbound and outbound freight for the company that involved Purchasing. I was fortunate that my time at Neo-Wood Products/Phoenix Furniture was beneficial in landing a job in May of 1998 as a contractor working at Marathon.
