- Hit rate increased from roughly 60% to 90%
- Implemented a credit/debit memo automation sweep of small $ amount in Accounts Receivable
- Dramatically increased efficiency in clearing these small $ values out of Accounts Receivable. What took a day or two of manual transactions to clear up these small $ amounts only took 10 to 15 min to do with the automation

Biggest professional win:

- Process improvements as described above
- Earn the respect of upper management and team members

Biggest personal win - Aside from being happily married and a proud father of 3 healthy grown-ups

I never considered myself as an endurance athlete. I could not imagine myself doing anything strenuous unless there was a ball involved (basketball, volleyball, and football). As I have aged, so did my body. There came a point where I would easily get injured playing any sports that involved a ball. I needed to stay active. Eventually, a good friend of mine introduced me to long distance running which led to my introduction to triathlon. In the last 15 years, I have completed countless half marathons, 3 full marathons, 5 Half Ironmans, and 3 full Ironmans.

Who I’m hoping to find in this search?

A collaborator, open minded, eager to learn, not afraid to make mistakes and learn from them, willing to help a team member.
