It has been my privilege to serve in the Consumer Packaged Goods industry for over 30 years. During my first 16 years in the industry, I am grateful to have received fantastic training in business leadership from exceptional managers. Various skills were honed in two Fortune 50 CPG manufacturers, Kraft and ConAgra. Experience was added and the outcome was great success in sales, category management, marketing, logistics, strategic planning, P&L management, and H&R practices. In 2003, I departed from corporate life and became an entrepreneur. At the outset, the business was called EVR Solutions, and later, it was renamed as Respect Foods, Inc.For over 20 years, Respect Foods has operated as a sales and product development leadership team serving both large and small suppliers as a food broker to limited assortment grocery store chains (primarily ALDI USA and ALDI Global Sourcing). Respect Foods is poised to nimbly work diligently to seize opportunities that larger companies often ignore. Personally, I am driven by Biblical Christian convictions and I am an avid reader of the Bible. When not working at Respect Foods, you can find me serving and loving my best friend... my wife, Teri. Late in 2021, with great joy Teri and I welcomed a new son to our family through adoption. So, now my three greatest joys are spending time with my wife, raising my son, and serving the Lord in my local church. When possible, I also enjoy traveling and eating out, as well as activities such as running, golfing, and trail biking.
Listed skills include Brand Management, Marketing, Management, Supermarkets, and 45 others.
