Worked for 24 years making it a priority to handle all customers, negotiations, and every aspect of a sale with a commitment to provide both the company I work for and the customer with a positive outcome. My career has also seen its share of achievements while working at American Steamship Company. I have continued to expand our customer base, even in a shrinking market. One example of this, was how I personally initiated and closed on a piece of business that was handled exclusively by one of my competitors, resulting in a yearly increase of approximately $30-40,000,000 of additional revenue for American Steamship Company. While at American Steamship, I have significantly expanded my knowledge of the customer base, the products involved, and the overall structure of the industry to make the needed contacts to succeed and provide the greatest overall return for American Steamship while providing the customer with the greatest overall service .I am motivated, task oriented and efficient, while having excellent communications skills to go along with my understanding of the market place on the Great Lakes, which has served me well.

First 5 1/2 years handled all of Koch Industries domestic barge and vessel movements on the East Coast, Great Lakes, all the river systems in the US and the Intercoastal Waterways. Shipments were of asphalt, chemicals, crude oil, multiple forms of gasoline, and heavy bunkers. The final 3 + years were spent with Koch Carbon handling all the domestic barge and vessel movements of solid bulk products. Initially brought over to Improve Koch's reputation and influence with customers, as the solid products division was viewed by customers in a very negative light. I worked with the customer's to change their perception of Koch to a more positive stance within the first year of working in the bulk products division.
