I am a combat veteran that served post 9/11 during Operation Iraqi Freedom. I am from New York City where my career in sales and retail industry originally began at the age of 15. I have twelve years of sales and retail experience, six of which I have held managerial position. Through my experiences in the military and in sales/retail I have learned many leadership and team key traits and values some of which are discipline to maintain meticulous attention to details, self-sacrifice, and remaining always teachable. I enjoy being challenged with new experiences, never afraid to take initiative and always looking for more responsibilities. By maintaining this level of professionalism I have been able to generate six hundred thousand dollars annual revenue in the automotive industry, was responsible for 15 million dollars of military equipment, and maintain an annual budget of 1.8 million dollar for an urban apparel boutique.
