At a young age, it was my dream to one day be in the military. In 1995, I enlisted in the United States Marine Corps and served in various locations around the world to include Japan where I spent the first two years of my Marine Corps career. As a Sergeant during my last two years in the Marine Corps I had the pleasure and honor of training recruits marksmanship Later in life I continued to serve my country as a Private Security Contractor guarding United States Dignitaries in Iraq and as a Site Security Manager in Afghanistan . After the military, I found the world of retail “by accident”. It seemed a natural fit for me because I enjoy helping people locate the right products for their needs. Witnessing a customer smile when they get the product that will solve a problem inspires me to go to work every day. I have had the pleasure of working for multiple retail chains and some of these include Best Buy, The UPS Store and Floor & Décor. My roles grew as my supervisors could see that I had a knack for training, coaching, and mentoring teams to achieve in executing the overall vision of the executive team. Currently I am the General Manager of Mammoth Holdings, a very popular car wash chain in Georgia. My main responsibilities are maintaining the overall operations and leading a great staff. Sometimes individually and sometimes on a team-level, my goal is to help my staff perform better than they did even the day before. When we grow as a team, the opportunities to grow become limitless! Here a few of my career highlights: * Mammoth Holdings. Successfully turned around this failing site that was the lowest 5 in the region to perform at the top in the region within a few months. This achievement lead to being placed in another high-volume site to perform the same transformation, this time making the site a top 10 revenue generating operation within 6 months. * Floor & Décor. Exceeded sales goals several quarters and was moved from department to department to successfully improve and enhance the overall presentation of products within these divisions. * Best Buy. Effectively improved and streamlined the picking and shipping process within the store resulting in online orders being shipped ahead of schedule 95% of the time, and an increase in positive reviews for the store. I’m always interested in hearing from former colleagues, managers, and peers in my field, so feel free to contact me if you’d like to connect.
