are in sports year around and no other family members to help. So quality of life is a huge factor for me. I
thrive and excel in any system once I am trained within that system. I have no particular connection to any
one way of managing or accomplishing a goal. If there is a system in place, I will learn it, buy into it and
succeed within it as well as train and coach my staff how to succeed within that system. My management
style is a mixture of all. I like to empower my staff to become active members in solving problems and
other initiatives. I am definitely exceptional at Manager to staff relations and morale boosting. At the same
time I am direct when appropriate but I make sure that all directives laid out to my staff come with the
support of operational reasoning and knowledge and not just order giving. I teach as I manage at all times

runs in my family and I grew up in this industry. It is a passion that I have regardless of any outside
incentive. I will succeed at a high level at any management position once trained properly within the
system. Thank you for considering me.
