Skills:
I earned a Masters in Business Administration with an Operations Management specialization from Kennesaw State University. I have a graduate-level understanding of statistics-based production and quality control, managerial and financial accounting, planning, budgeting, and root-cause analysis. My Bachelor of Science is in Fermentation Science from UC Davis, including coursework in malting and brewing science, general microbiology, beer microbiology and laboratory techniques, biochemistry, heat and mass transfer, sensory analysis, statistics and plant sanitation. I have years of operations, quality and compliance management experience in beer, wine and related industries. Having a thorough understanding of finance and operations, I can help increase the bottom line by evaluating cash flow, inventory management, supply chain management, risk (financial and physical) reduction, and capital expenditure evaluation. While working in businesses that were transitioning from entrepreneurial to corporate, I have established and run quality control programs, helped to earn the highest rating from outside food-safety auditors, and have experience implementing HACCP, OSHA compliance, and a variety of HR functions. I am experienced at dealing successfully with Federal and State FDA, DOA, TTB, DOR and other bureaucratic acronyms. I have a strong electro-mechanical background including electronics troubleshooting and repair, universal refrigerant certification, and implementation and tracking of plant-wide preventive maintenance programs. Puedo hablar espaol suficientamente bien para comunicar lo que es importante. Finally and most importantly, I am a patient teacher, have a sense of humor, a calm demeanor, a fix the problem, not the blame attitude, and I consciously strive to play well with others.
