What I'm looking for

I seek customer-focused roles in retail or hospitality where I can manage store operations, train staff, improve sales, and apply hands-on carpentry skills.

I am a hands-on sales manager and service professional with experience in retail sales, store management, hospitality, and carpentry. I manage cash safe deposits, coordinate with distributors, train new hires, and contribute practical skills from construction and back-of-house restaurant roles.

I bring strong customer service, merchandising, and organizational skills paired with technical knowledge of power tools and basic mechanical tasks. I am reliable, comfortable in fast-paced service environments, and focused on improving store operations and team performance.
