About Me

Hello all. I started at CareerBuilder.com recently as a Software Engineer. I graduated recently from Georgia State University with a BS in Computer Science. I also like watching movies a lot. I have a weekly movie night hosted at my place on my big 90" screen. I like getting out and meeting new people too.

    Receiving Manager
    Ballard Designs
    Well, Ballard Designs is a small niche furniture company focused on providing French antique inspired reproductions and related furniture. I worked as a Receiving Manager in their Roswell outlet store. So, basically, I managed the team that received in and prepped the merchandise for the store. So, we made sure inventory was properly accounted for and that is was presentable to customer as much as possible considering it may be damaged. I also assisted the Store Manager in conducting the inventories and also with several reorganizations of the store to accommodate shifting quantities of product.
