I am a private investor with an education in Finance and currently pursuing an MBA. My most recent career background is involvement of the operations side of distribution and inventory management of medical supplies. I intend to be an active investor, or potentially a partner, heavily involved in the marketing and operations strategy of a warehouse, distribution, and/or 3PL business with a focus on e-commerce clientele. To me, complacency is poison. My intent is to help drive a project home from a marketing and operations perspective. I hope not only to provide financial security to the project but also be hands-on and help motivate and provide experience and direction to the project.
