Full Time Father
Responsible for the care of four children and household while spouse traveled for work. During this time, I also worked at Amazon, was a substitute teacher and volunteered as a Reserve Police Officer for the City of Dayton, TN. In addition, I worked other part time positions to help support our family.
Responsibilities: Maintaining quality according to practices and policies put forth by management and ownership. Training of staff and technicians to assure company standards are maintained over time and are not subject to degrading issues of “personal” complacency. There is a right way and a wrong way.
Communication
I have always believed that communication, whether it be written, verbal or otherwise, should be clear and concise to avoid misunderstandings and mistakes. Ensuring that directions/directives are understood and carried out properly is key to a successful operation.
Leadership
“A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way and shows the way.” John C. Maxwell
