Summary
My career has revolved around all aspects of business management, technical expertise, managing key accounts, solution selling, parts management and inventory control.

I am a self-motivated and technically competent person who is committed to achieving the highest standards in all aspects of my career. However, it is my strong people and team skills, adaptability, and ability to research and understand complex systems and methods that I would view as my major attributes.
