Everyone has a strength, mine is turning around underperforming business operations. From starting out in store management to becoming a regional vice-president, I have over 30 years of experience as a hands-on, executive-level leader and strategist, transforming established flooring and furniture retailers throughout the nation. Displaying an entrepreneurial spirit, as a former business owner and independent consultant I can relate to the pain points that come with overseeing a large organization. Throughout my career, I have become well-known and respected by leading flooring/furniture executives and ownership for my overall knowledge of a business's spectrums. These include, but not limited to, marketing, advertising, cash flow management, driving sales, warehousing, inventory management, and employee development.
