About Me

I have been in retail (sales and management) for over 18 years. My sales background includes flooring, paint, home decor, building supplies and (currently) furniture. I am fairly new to furniture and commission based sales. It can be frustrating, but also very rewarding. Management experience includes paint, flooring and installed sales. Having worked for some major retailers, I have overseen up to 20 associates, running departments with sales over a million dollars a year.
I have a fascination with computers and the internet. I have tried My hand at internet marketing with (limited) success. I build, upgrade and troubleshoot computers as a side hobby. Some of My other hobbies include fishing, bowling, listening to music, watching movies and sports.
