Starting in the propane business in 1980, my passion and expertise was in management development and personnel recruiting while working as the Regional Human Resources Manager. Having learned the propane business from the bottom-up, I developed a niche for placing key people in critical positions, relative to each individual’s skills, experience, qualifications and industry background.

My positions included:
Area Manager – Pacific Northwest (Oregon/Washington)
Regional HR/ Employee Relations Manager – Western Region
District Manager – Northern California
Bobtail Driver / Propane Service Tech - Northern California
