• When i first moved to America I did not know where I would land in the US workforce, as a shopper at Wholefoods and noticing the quality of their produce was lacking, I thought no better way to help a new store that just opened but to apply my knowledge of Produce to help my local store grow.• At wholefoods my main role is to keep the floor stocked with quality product, Keeping the work area clean, Training new team members, Maintain safe working area, Customer service,

• As Purchasing officer I would travel to Newcastle produce markets 3-5 days a week, dealing with each store for quality and price. • Being the manager I would open the shop, handle the end of day takings which also include going to the bank and doing the deposits, organize tasks for each staff member, deal with customers, keep a strict cleaning roster making sure the shop was food safe every day. • I left this company to move to the USA to be with my fiancé now Wife.

• Initially I was just a delivery driver for Eco Pure which included customer service, water deliveries, installation of water coolers, sales, loading and unloading trucks. • When I first joined this company it had a total of 32 customers, the company stands today and going strong.• In 2009 I was approached by the owners of Eco Pure to purchase the company, so the owner of Wyee Mini Market and I bought Eco Pure, also keeping the Mini Market running smoothly.• Since taking ownership of Eco Pure my tasks entitled setting daily delivery routes for all the drivers, meeting with accountants, making sure all the computer systems are running smoothly so orders can be entered as they come in, water quality testing, keeping the Reverse Osmoses and filtration systems running and do repairs if needed, do urgent deliveries that come in late or customer that had run out of water.• November 2012 I had to make the hard decision of selling Eco Pure to move to America to be with my Fiancé, I was happy I ended up selling the company to a close friend and the company is still moving forward.

• This was my first job and started off as a good thing getting a trade behind you was great, I learnt how to run and maintain large machinery, become a good welder and fabricator, how to drive a forklift, taking orders from clients, ordering steel brass aluminum from wholesalers.• Only reason I did not continue in this field of work the company went into receivership 3 times the last time was permanent the banks closed the doors, this is when I was approached by a boss of Neverfail Spring Water to join their company, it was a hard decision to make but I was young and money would win not a trade sadly.
