1. I am a successful retail
management leader with more
than 10 years of upper-level
division management experience. I
successfully managed a profitable
“big box” retail store while
working 50 hours a week and
going to college full-time. I have
been a first quartile performer for
the past three companies I have
worked for, continuously
exceeding expectations for a
manager at my level. My passions
in business and life, involve hard
work and striving to be excellent in
everything I set out to accomplish.

6. Life Accomplishments
At 23 I joined the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints and was ostracized by my
family, at 25 my Bishop told me to move to
avoid further persecution from my family, and at
30 I went back to school. Through all this I have
remained faithful to the Church, cherished my 9
year marriage to my wife and stayed the course.

become the Vice President of South Division
