Professional
A versatile business and operations manager with a
strong aptitude for computers, I have developed my
skills through over 20 years of work experience.  For
the past 5 years, I’ve had the prestigious position of
Yield Manager for Southern California with Hertz
Corporation.  My ten years prior work experience with
Budget Group Incorporated, found me residing as a
Distribution Manager, charged with fleet distribution
for the Los Angeles basin.  Prior to my appointment to
Distribution Manager, I had spent two years creating
and managing the national Emergency Roadside
Care department.  Before that, I spent a year as a
Distribution Supervisor.  These advancements came
after spending 4 years as a Lead Customer Service
Representative, at several of the local Orange County
branches.  My first office job was with Courtyard by
Marriott as a Reservations Agent, where I was quickly
promoted to a Reservations Trainer and then again
promoted to Yield Manager, where I was responsible
for 15 properties across the United States.  The first
day I was eligible to work as minor, I took a part time
job as a Masonry Assistant with a friend of the family
who owned and operated Champion Masonry
Materials in Buena Park, California.  Even though it
was just yard maintenance, forklift, tractor, and hand
loading supplies, I learned a lot about responsibility,
customer service, and cohabitation with coworkers.

Personal
I was born in Orange County, CA in 1971.  I lived in
the inland rural areas of southern California during my
childhood, which granted me the benefit of roaming
the country side.  I moved back to Orange County at
the age of 14 and attended Fountain Valley High
School, where I maintained a 3.0 GPA and had an
active interest in photography, video production, and
business mathematics.  I was also on both the
Yearbook and Video Yearbook staff.  After high school,
I attended a few individual classes at a local junior
college, but choose to focus on my career instead.  At
25 years old, I met, and after a whirlwind romance,
married my loving wife in 1997.  She, already having
a son, provided me with an instant family.  That same
year, our daughter Sarah was born.  Then, 14 months
later, our daughter Emily was born in 1998. After the
birth of my youngest daughter, my wife decided to
pursue her education in the medical field.  Over the
next five years, I supported the family while my wife
completed two AA’s, her Licensed Vocational Nursing
degree, and finally, her Registered Nursing degree.  In
general, I enjoy time with my family, web design,
photography, movies, and strategy games.
