INTRODUCTION

Ahoy! Welcome aboard my site!

In my career, I have a great deal of experience in the sales and marketing field and have strong background in association management, event management and advertising. I am always eager to undertake new challenges and am a self starter with a great deal of enthusiasm in all my endeavors. As a local to St. Augustine FL, I am passionate when it comes to the Marine Industry. From managing fishing tournaments and boat shows to working directly with marine related businesses as a marketing consultant, I am always looking for my next project and eager to begin something new. I consider myself a problem solver, being able to think outside the box to provide a solution that may not be obvious to others. Whether working in a partnership or independently, I take pride in managing projects to bring success to all involved.
