Bragging Rights:

Some of the past experiences which have helped me to gain this expertise, include: Working with HMS Host to develop and open four complete theme stores in their travel plazas on the Ohio Turnpike, and teaming with their Atlanta branch to design and open several wall kiosks in the Atlanta Airport. During a national roll out of UV3 sunglasses into Hudson News airport stores. I implemented displays and merchandising systems which greatly increased category sales. According to Hudson News, there was a ten fold increase in sunglasses sales after the change. Another great learning experience was partnering with the Delaware North Companies executive team as a presenter at a bid for an airport retail contract when the Fort Myers airport added terminals. My prior sales experience includes being a professional sales trainer, speaker and consultant for the retail industry. I also have a track record as a National Account Executive, National Sales Manager, Regional Manager, District Manager and Store Manager. Locating stores in super regional malls and negotiating leases with national property companies has provided me with valuable leasing experience.
