I held numerous supervisory volunteer roles in the Boy Scouts of America at the troop, district, and council levels, and successfully planned and ran many large-scale, long-term events. These experiences honed my leadership, logistics, and people management skills.Earlier in my career, I worked as a general contractor specializing in commercial build-outs for fast food restaurants and hotels. My hands-on expertise includes finish carpentry, flooring, painting, and full-scope project coordination.Across every chapter of my professional journey—from construction to volunteer leadership to retail—I’ve brought a steady, practical approach and a strong commitment to service, quality, and teamwork.
