Summary

Dynamic operations leader with a proven track record at Dover Pools and Patio, enhancing customer satisfaction and driving operational efficiency. Skilled in staff development and business analysis, I foster high-performing teams and implement continuous improvement initiatives, ensuring organizational goals are met while maintaining strong vendor relationships.

In between being a Store Manager and the General Manager, I also oversaw and ran the Service Department for 2 years. I have overwhelming knowledge of the Swimming Pool industry and have built great relationships with my Vendors, Reps and Distributors. I believe I would be a huge asset to any company looking for a loyal, hardworking employee to help grow their business.
