As the Director of Retail & Food Service with BMS CAT, my primary goal is simple - Be a Good Human Being.  Listen and understand what it takes to orchestrate the daily chaos in my client's world.  Secondly, when Mother Nature or her nephew Murphy's Law threatens to interrupt operational cash flow, I step in with a solution and deploy assets.

A Swiss Army knife career spanning Risk Management, Healthcare, Manufacturing, Textiles, Retail Uniform/Apparel, Portable Sanitation, Facilities & Construction to Disaster/Remediation/Emergency Services.  I also serve on the ConnexFM Membership Committee, Connex Foundation IMPACT Committee, Healthcare Council and Food & Beverage Council, so I try to think of myself as "tapped in" to what makes our association unique.
