What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values leadership and operational excellence, with opportunities for growth.

I am a dedicated and results-driven professional with over 20 years of experience in transportation, logistics, operations, and sales. My expertise lies in heavy equipment operation, infrastructure development, project management, and safety compliance. I have a proven ability to lead teams, optimize processes, and deliver high-quality results in both routine and emergency operations. My strong communication skills focus on collaboration, efficiency, and achieving organizational goals.

In my current role as a Transportation Operator II at VDOT, I lead crews in emergency and non-emergency operations, ensuring safety and efficiency during storm response and routine maintenance. I have successfully managed diverse projects, mentored young professionals, and streamlined operational processes, increasing team efficiency by 20%. My experience as a General Manager at Advance Auto Parts further honed my skills in operations management, employee training, and customer service, ensuring operational continuity during emergencies.
