Professional Summary
I had originally planned to be a teacher in High School or Jr. College as well as a coach. I went into business instead and found that I was good with people and could translate concepts and ideas into actions. This lead to a very successful sales career and an even more successful Sales Management career.

I actually became interested in software programming and wrote a software package for the telecommunications industry and started my own company which I had for 10 years.

I have managed sales and engineering teams consisting of up to 16 people. I have managed multiple territories simultaneously. I took my first office from number 30 in the company to number 3 and my second location from number 31 to number 4 in the company in revenues.
The success that I had in sales management was a directly related to my love of teaching and coaching. My goals was always to make others shine and be as successful as they could be.
I retired in 2017 and immediately began studying Photoshop and have become very proficient with it and also in digital art.

I have also played guitar for 54 years which included being in numerous band, playing at church and teaching guitar lessons. I write and record in my home music studio.

Skill sets
I’m articulate very diligent and dependable employee. I have wonderful good people skills and am also an excellent teacher. I also have a desire to understand as many aspects of a business as I can. I like to know how each component functions. I also care that customers get what they perceived they would get when they do business with me.
