The Ohio Valley Golf Association was organized in November 2003 as a way to bring together those who enjoy the game of golf. The OVGA is a competitive golf tour open to golfers of all handicap levels. Another goal of the OVGA is to make a difference in the community through our association with the Building Blocks 4 Kids. Since 2004, the OVGA has raised $35,000.

I wore many hats within my position however my main focus was managing schematics for four packaged meat commodities within our seven divisions of responsibility. This includes working with Kroger to determine product assortment, placement, distribution levels and other aspects of this process.Coordinate resets for 900 stores in the western Kroger divisions. Work with divisions on scheduling and executing resets throughout multiple periods each year within the package meat, fresh and frozen meat and seafood departments. This includes working around scheduling conflicts, inventory issues, personnel issues and other obstacles that come up. In addition to these duties also play a critical role in mapping the stores and assigning POG's for each commodity to the appropriate stores throughout each division. Without this being 100% accurate stores would not get correct product in a timely manner which would cause major date codes issues on items left in the warehouse's and would leave empty spots in the sets which would lead to missed sales.
