VP Integration and Cultural Development
I started my career in computer sales for a value-added-reseller when that market was making 30 percent margins. It was a great time to be in the VAR business, but unfortunately recession and market crashes changed things nearly overnight. I realized I needed something more stable. I was fortunate to have contacts in household goods relocations and used those relationships to begin a career in logistics. Though I loved working with transferring military families, household goods moves weren’t the best fit for me. I fortunately transitioned into the automotive logistics industry and am so happy that I did.
