Though I have had over 20 years of assorted sales experiences, God provided another avenue of experience where I can truly help people. I began this journey as a bus driver--as my "transition job" and it served it's purpose well, giving me a greater appreciation for what a school bus driver must go through just to get licensed. Then was given the opportunity to use my teaching/training skills to train other bus drivers. In my leadership role at North Kansas City Schools Transportation Department as School Liaison Coordinator. I had the opportunity to over-haul the NKC Transportation referral system and redesign it to try to ensure our drivers/aides concerns are answered. Among many other things, my position required me to address parent and administrator concerns regarding transportation, viewing bus video regularly and addressing drivers/aides with those concerns. I also have internal responsibilities of managing a small number of staff members and doing evaluations. Next, as Transportation Coordinator at Liberty Public Schools Transportation Department, I oversaw the major departments--Training, Dispatch, as well overall staff management. Currently, I am Regional Sales Manager for Masters Transportation, representing northern Missouri and Iowa and am looking forward to meeting all those that I can help with new and used bus solutions.Current specialties: Certified School Bus Trainer, President of KCAMAPT transportation organization, speaker, active member of NAPT and MAPT transportation organizations, District Wellness committee member, District benefits committee member, creator & leader of an internal transportation committee called Discipline Advisory Committee (DAC), project management--including, but not limited to: *Bus't Hunger food drive coordinator benefiting Harvesters Food Bank, *Operation: Stocking Stuffer benefiting the Northland Salvation Army*Complete fleet replacement coordinator *State inspection coordinator for the NKC bus inspection team for the last 5 years-having 2-100% inspections in a row and various 98+% inspections.
