Vice President

ASI, Inc.

(Privately Held; Marketing and Advertising industry)

May 1992 — May 2002 (10 years 1 month)

ASI, Inc. was a small company that had 1 office when i joined. I opened or helped open 3 offices. Early on with the company I saw a need and developed and implemented a training program and employee handbook. When the Internet came along I assisted the owner in developing a website they still use today. We also reworked largely how we did business and coached the team through that change. I enjoyed working directly with the owner to really break new ground in an industry that was very new. What I enjoyed most was the freedom to be a visionary and work with a visionary. In doing so we were able to create something of real value and have fun in the process.
Front Office Department Head

Hyatt Regency Hotels and Resorts

(Hospitality industry)

June 1988 — November 1991 (3 years 6 months)

This was my first job out of college. I wouldn't trade the experience and training I received for anything. It was a hard job with long hours but with a company known for excellent training and high expectations. I learned invaluable skills in regards to customer service and how to deal with difficult customers. At a very early age I took on responsibilies for building revenue, training, and collaborating with other departments. Every day presented new tasks and challenges. I enjoyed it and still miss it some days.
