• Manufacturing Procurement Manager

  • Sep 2015 - Oct 2019

  After many years of constantly varied workplace environments and positions I am now the Manufacturing Procurement Manager at Palmetto State Armory. I have substantial experience in personnel management, retail operations and warehouse supervision. I am a high energy team player and thrive off of setting goals and crushing them. "Results-oriented" would be a good description of my operating agenda. I love challenges and look forward to overcoming every single one, occasionally multiple challenges at the same time. My skill set is as lengthy as my experience. I have traveled extensively and have a cultured background that encompasses many different types of positions. This background allows me a multi-dimensional, objective view of how many small things work as a whole rather than looking at a job or project subjectively. I have a large vocabulary, strong people skills and an even stronger work ethic. Critical thinking is a strong suit of mine, as is complex problem solving. I have negotiated business agreements that have saved the company over $3.5 million over the past 3 years. I am currently building on my mountain of experience as well as my list of accomplishments at PSA and look forward to the next step in the process. Rule every moment; seize every day. Show less
