My Bio

               

I am a laid back, fun loving person with a no holds, can-do attitude and a head overflowing with thousands of assorted ideas and plans. I have strong morals and big goals that I’m not afraid to stand up for. My entre1preneurial spirit showed itself at a young age and has been growing ever since.  With the constant urge expanding my skill set, I am an avid self learner who loves to get his hands dirty and experience new things. I am well traveled and not even close to putting my tent and hiking boots away. I have immense social skills and I always look forward to my next chance to network with a new person or meet with a client. I stand by my decisions and quickly learn from mistakes made by me and others. I prefer studying about failure as opposed to success because I want to know how to prevent them. In business, I make sure to set the pace and refuse to let challenges stop me from reaching my goal with success. I confront every problem head on and work to find the strongest most durable solution. I am not afraid to ask for help or advice when I need it and am happy to provide mine if it is needed. I provide any person in need of assistance with respect, curiosity and patience no matter what their concern may be.

I began my professional career began in 1990 when I accepted a position as a telecommunication analyst, upon hire I was given onsite training and brought up to date on all telecommunication technologies at that time. I completed all assigned tasks and projects with ease and excelled at meeting project deadlines. I was soon offered and accepted a position as Project Manager. Under that title I was responsible for the delegation of tasks and oversaw numerous group projects under very stringent timelines. When I left that position, I took with me not just basic management skills but also the benefits of using current technology. I have since made it a point to keep myself current on all computer operating systems. I am able to use all Microsoft applications such as Word, PowerPoint and Excel comfortably. I implement the newest available computer and telecommunications technologies so that I can provide my clients and employees with instant, reliable connectivity. All members of the GreenReady! Team is kept up to date on the latest advances in technology and is able to use them conveniently. Clients are provided with numerous methods they can use to connect with a member of the GreenReady! team whenever needed. I often times set up teleconferences to prevent unnecessary fuel consumption and use several tactics to reduce on the amount of paper used.

                I developed a strong sense of personal accountability in the years I spent guiding 15+ member VIP tour groups. I led excursions through 19 states, 4 Canadian provinces and regions of Mexico. Aside from more than a few memories I was also presented with several unexpected events. I learned to think quickly, safely and responsibly under great amounts of stress. Whether it was something as simple as a flat tire or violent weather was threatening our camp I always kept client safety and satisfaction my top priorities. I was personally responsible for maintaining current DOT licensure for the operation of a commercial vehicle and handled regular and unforeseen maintenance of fleet vehicles under my control. I also handled all logistics in regards to shelter and maintained professional budgets for each trek. I also ensured company and client compliance with international customs, regulations and laws. I have extensive wilderness survival experience and have been in several situations where I needed to teach those skills to clients. Patience and exceptional communication skills were used on a daily basis.

                After successfully leading over 42 tours I accepted a position as Assistant General Manager for L.J’s Martini Club. I took the opportunity to showcase and refine my current management skills as well as develop new ones. I maintained payroll tabulations and staff scheduling for an average of 17 employees and often took on the task of placing and training new employees.  I handled all vendor relations and had oversight on purchasing and inventory control as well as most other aspects of the restaurants budget and expenses. During my employ annual revenues topped $3.5 million.

As you can see, I have made it a point to gain as much as I could from every position I’ve held throughout my career. I attend several courses and seminars of personal and professional interest and encourage and fund the educational interests of GreenReady! team members as much as possible. I stay up to date on local and world politics and I volunteer regularly for a number of local non-profit organizations. All GreenReady! team members are expected to be active in their local community and display genuine concern regarding the environment. I maintain current licensure in First Aid, CPR and have up to date First Responder Training. GreenReady! has been recognized by local authorities as being environmentally friendly and maintaining a carbon footprint of zero. We don’t limit ourselves to the basics like turning electronics off when we leave and reusing plastic bags. The GreenReady! team experiments with pioneer products and unique ideas we can use to save energy and help the environment every day. This open-minded and willing approach allows me to provide my clients with a wide variety of innovative environmental solutions that better suit their individual needs and lifestyles.  

Diversity, honesty and quality are required for any idea, solution, service, employee or product that I take into consideration, this ensures that I am left with a large array of different, reliable options to choose from that will endure even the toughest challenge.   Currently, I am preparing for the launch of our premier line of disaster preparedness products this year. I anticipate providing the bay area with personal, educational and useful environmental consultation that is ahead of current environmental changes and trends. Thank you for your interest in GreenReady! I look forward to helping you become GreenReady! soon!
