I’m not just a suit-and-tie kind of professional—I’m a hands-on, deeply involved materials management associate. For me, it’s never just about the title; it’s about rolling up my sleeves, staying vigilant, and ensuring every detail is accounted for. Whether managing inventory or swiftly addressing discrepancies, my focus is always on precision and excellence.
As a highly detailed and results-driven inventory management professional, I have extensive experience creating and maintaining Bills of Materials (BOMs) for production groups, ensuring accuracy and efficiency throughout the manufacturing process. Crafting comprehensive and precise BOMs is a skill I’ve honed to streamline production workflows, minimize errors, and optimize resource allocation.
In my role as a warehouse manager, I prioritize maintaining an organized, perfectly categorized warehouseenvironment that not only supports efficiency but also upholds the highest standards of safety. I implement structured inventory systems and logical layouts, allowing for seamless stock identification, fast distribution, and effective inventory turnover. My approach ensures that team members can quickly locate materials while reducing risks and delays in order fulfillment.
Promoting safety is at the core of my warehouse operations. I actively design and enforce safety protocols, conduct routine inspections, and provide ongoing training to my team. This ensures a secure workspace while minimizing the potential for accidents or lost time due to injuries.
In addition, I excel at using advanced inventory management software and ERP systems to track, monitor, and forecast inventory needs. By leveraging data analytics, I can anticipate demand fluctuations, avoid overstocking or stockouts, and make cost-effective purchasing decisions. My strong focus on inventory accuracy and control has consistently reduced waste and improved overall operational efficiency.
Whether it’s establishing reorder points, managing stock audits, coordinating with suppliers, or optimizing warehouse layouts for productivity, I bring a comprehensive and meticulous approach to every aspect of inventory and warehouse management.

HTO - CATALYST FOR CHANGE
Moratorium on SRO Conversion
The project was slandered as GENTRIFICATION and elder abuse all over the news and in the courtrooms. My clients wanted to remain in the shadows while I battled this increasingly violent social and political situation. There was a lawsuit. Vicious allegations were made. The accusers later learned that my "Do No Harm" policy prevented me morally from doing anything other than helping those individuals in need, as well as completing my projects to the best of my abilities. Fortunately, my charter had a RESCUE clause built in, and my clients contributed financially to moving those less fortunate tenants into new healthy living situations.
As the corporate liaison for the investment groups, I made numerous visits to the City Council and Counties of San Francisco and Alameda, where I was instrumental in passing the Moratorium on SRO Conversion. This was a time—and money-saving feat for my clients and a godsend for the tenants.
My expertise in Hotel Management and Building Code expediting connected me to high-profile construction projects, including ÜBER, SQUARE, PANORAMIC, NDO GROUP, RAJ SINGH PROPERTIES, EMPORIUM, SUTTER, and HTO. As a trusted liaison between city officials, fire departments, and developers, I've played a pivotal role in bringing significant renovations up to code for some of Oakland and San Francisco's once-forgotten yet iconic developments. My hotel management experience has also equipped me to efficiently oversee guest rooms, commercial spaces, apartments, and former SROs, representing investors and property owners with grace and precision. My work has earned me recognition as a highly skilled project expediter in the Bay Area.

Let's Go! Typically, a short-term project like this wouldn't even make it onto my résumé, but this one was extraordinary. When the technology giant SAMSUNG called with an ambitious, seemingly impossible event to execute on a razor-tight timeline, I embraced the challenge head-on.
From the handoff to the "Go-Live" moment, I had only four weeks to pull off an event for 3,000 people—without a venue, catering, branded materials, or even basic logistics in place. SAMSUNG's internal team had hit a wall, and thanks to my consulting agency partner, I was brought in at a critical juncture to take charge.
Here's the ask:
- Find a secure, family-friendly venue to host 2,300 employees, 700 family members (500 children), and a VIP delegation of 6 Korean executives and 3 board members.
- Create an international menu to satisfy both Silicon Valley's diverse employees and the discerning tastes of the Korean VP.
- Source, design, and distribute branded swag in time for the event.
- Develop the event's branding, schedule, show flow, music, and speech timelines.
- Design and implement a comprehensive security plan amidst bomb and hostage threats, all while staying within a strict budget.
My first move was to secure Great America Theme Park in San Jose, California, locking in a section of the park that could be contained. It offered not just entertainment but also safety and flexibility for a crowd this large. Its layout allowed me to coordinate critical security measures discreetly—plainclothes security personnel, a hidden hostage retreat sanctuary, and ambulance access stations—without detracting from the festive atmosphere.
Anticipating potential risks, I established first-aid stations, created a unique identification system and a designated lost-and-found center for children, and ensured preemptive medical care was ready to address any issues. I organized engaging games and activities for the children, balancing entertainment with safety.
On the culinary side, I worked with chefs to design a multicultural menu that impressed the Korean VIPs and delighted the diverse Silicon Valley crowd. Branded swag? I designed, sourced, and packed it into personalized gift bags in record time.
Every detail was meticulously planned and executed. Despite the significant challenges, the event went off without a hitch—there were no injuries, security breaches, or logistical failures. The feedback from the SAMSUNG leadership and attendees was overwhelmingly positive, with particular praise for the seamless security protocols and thoughtful international touches.
Result: I successfully planned and executed SAMSUNG's 2018 Premier Summer Event, earning recognition for my ability to lead under pressure, manage complex logistics, and create a memorable experience for thousands of attendees.
A huge thanks to the hardworking team who collaborated with me to make this vision a reality!

BENJAMIN...the model in this picture, and the inspiration behind one of my most rewarding ventures came from an amazing dog who changed my life. Fueled by the bond I shared with my furry companion, I created a company dedicated to designing innovative and practical pet products. What began as a passion quickly turned into a thriving business, showcasing my creativity and ability to solve real-world problems.
One of my earliest breakthroughs was developing the first-ever mechanical dog pedicure device, an innovation that earned me three new patents. This initial success motivated me to expand into a full lineup of products, including luxury dog beds, sofas, and feeding stations, each designed with comfort, functionality, and style in mind. These products catered to clients across a wide range of needs and budgets, demonstrating my ability to create solutions for all types of pet owners.
As the company grew, its impact caught the attention of a major brand, and I successfully sold the business while continuing to work with them on exciting new projects. Together, we expanded into dog toys, leashes, and eventually supplies for other pets, further proving my ability to innovate and adapt in a competitive market.
This venture not only highlighted my skills in design and production but also reinforced my belief in the power of passion-driven creativity. What started as a way to celebrate my dog became a journey of innovation, entrepreneurship, and success—one that continues to inspire me in everything I do.

As a hobby boxer, I’ve always been passionate about the sport, but I took that passion a step further by creating my own line of boxing equipment, TOP FORM Boxing Gear. Designed with the professional enthusiast in mind, this line made its debut in 1997, capturing attention in the European Welterweight sector with its blend of design, functionality, and quality.
From protective athletic apparel to accessories for boxing and mixed martial arts, TOP FORM quickly became known for its lightweight, active fabrics—an instant knock-out for athletes and fans alike. The combination of innovation and practicality helped set a new standard in the industry, and I poured my heart into every detail, ensuring these products were as durable and reliable as the athletes who used them.
The confidence I had in the quality of my designs was so strong that I often used my own face in advertising campaigns—literally putting my name (and nose) on the line! This venture showcased not only my passion for the sport but also my ability to take an idea from concept to execution, managing design, production, and market implementation every step of the way.
TOP FORM Boxing Gear isn’t just a product line; it’s a testament to the power of combining creativity and expertise to deliver something truly impactful.

Launching the TORSO TRAINER was a pivotal moment in my career and an incredible journey of innovation and determination. It was my first "As Seen on TV" fitness design—a concept I developed from the ground up, taking it from an idea on the drafting board to international production.
I immersed myself in every aspect of the process, sourcing parts and manufacturers, and even working hands-on at the production lines to ensure the product met the highest standards. Once the TORSO TRAINER was ready for market, I wrote, produced, and launched a nationwide TV commercial, driving sales and creating buzz for this groundbreaking fitness tool.
But the journey didn’t stop there. The TORSO TRAINER became my first call center product, a venture that allowed me to showcase my full-spectrum service capabilities. I staffed and managed the entire call center operation, overseeing product orders, customer service, spare parts logistics, and returns. This end-to-end involvement demonstrated my ability to handle every detail of a product’s lifecycle, from inception to delivery and beyond.
This experience not only introduced me to the world of product design and launch but also taught me invaluable lessons about innovation, operational efficiency, and customer satisfaction. It laid the foundation for future successes and showed my clients what’s possible when you combine creativity, strategy, and hard work.
Implementation
Reporting
I bring a strong analytical skill set to the table, particularly in creating customized dashboards and detailed reports for quarterly business reviews (QBRs) and financial reviews. By leveraging advanced tools such as Excel, Power BI, and other reporting software, I design intuitive, visually engaging, and data-rich dashboards that provide stakeholders with a clear and actionable understanding of business performance. These dashboards consolidate key metrics such as revenue trends, operational efficiency, cost analysis, and vendor performance, allowing leadership teams to make informed decisions quickly and effectively.
Service With a Smile
I provide a wide range of services, from implementation to operational. Let’s discuss where you need me to get started. No task is too small, and no title is too small.
Vendor Management
Sourcing national / international suppliers and managing their output and delivery are among my most extraordinary skill sets. I also have scorecards in place to rate and validate vendor performance. Additionally, I’ve developed and implemented Scorecard systems designed to evaluate vendor performance, track supplier quality issues, and measure operational efficiencies. These systems focus on key performance indicators (KPIs) such as on-time delivery rates, defect rates, cost efficiency, and responsiveness, providing a transparent and quantifiable way to assess and improve vendor relationships. By maintaining and analyzing these scorecards, I’ve been able to identify areas of improvement for suppliers, foster better collaboration, and negotiate more favorable terms.

In all cases, I implement the basic supply chain management building blocks. These are my guide to building a firm foundation to build a strong and profitable house of supply chain.
Another critical area of my expertise is tracking and optimizing logistics costs. I have developed robust systems for monitoring expenses associated with parcel shipments, Less-Than-Truckload (LTL), and Less-Than-Container Load (LCL) shipments. By analyzing freight spend data and identifying trends in cost drivers, I’ve been able to recommend and implement strategies that significantly reduce shipping expenses. This includes renegotiating carrier contracts, consolidating shipments for better efficiency, and optimizing shipping methods to ensure the best balance of cost and delivery speed.
My ability to integrate these reporting tools and evaluation systems into daily operations has driven measurable improvements in supply chain efficiency, cost savings, and supplier accountability, all while providing leadership with the insights needed to maintain a competitive edge.

I excel at paying close attention to current processes and gathering valuable insights from teammates to identify areas for improvement within the supply chain. My collaborative approach enables me to pinpoint inefficiencies and recommend targeted upgrades that enhance overall workflow and productivity. I pride myself on fostering open communication and working closely with teams to ensure the changes I implement align with organizational goals and team needs.
Once these upgrades are in place, I make it a priority to share the new processes and best practices with the team in clear, accessible formats. Whether it’s through detailed guides, visual dashboards, hands-on training sessions, or team workshops, I ensure that everyone is empowered with the knowledge and tools they need to succeed.
One of my key strengths is creating a clear and concise purchasing process that helps manage costs, streamline operations, and maintain real-time visibility of items being purchased or sourced. This meticulous approach enables me to track procurement activities with precision, anticipate delays, and proactively address any issues that arise.
I’ve successfully implemented these purchasing and requisition (PR) processes across various platforms, ranging from large-scale proprietary software to more cost-effective, easily accessible tools. Regardless of the software, my goal has always been to make a significant impact on my clients’ supply chains by increasing transparency, reducing costs, and enhancing operational efficiency.
These improvements have consistently resulted in better supplier management, faster turnaround times, and optimized resource allocation. By combining a detail-oriented mindset with strong communication and technical skills, I’ve been able to deliver transformative results for clients and teams alike.

The Re-Birth of an icon in the making. It is an honor to serve hands-on small business owners.
I take pride in supporting large corporations and small businesses, such as the APPLIANCE HOME STORE, where I played a pivotal role in bringing the owner’s vision to life. I introduced a sophisticated European-inspired color concept to the Showroom and initiated a Concierge Service, creating an inviting retail environment that embodies style and elegance. Thus simplifying processes for Property Management Teams and Design Professionals.
By leveraging my networking expertise, I connected the showroom with new business clients from diverse industries, significantly expanding its professional reach. I also organized community-focused events that not only captivated audiences but also fostered social responsibility and goodwill—particularly in areas sensitive to change, such as gentrifying neighborhoods.
My vision for the showroom extends far beyond traditional retail. It is positioned as a hub for enriching experiences, with plans to host cooking classes in a fully functional kitchen, art exhibitions, and contractor events. This approach ensures the space remains both community-oriented and business-focused, making it a premier destination celebrated for its innovation and meaningful engagement.
I have introduced CRM management and customer engagement in the same way a large corporate organization would.

Discovering the Power of Networking: My Experience with BNI
I want to share an incredible journey that has completely transformed the way I approach networking and collaboration. Joining Business Network International (BNI), and specifically the FAMM chapter in Columbia, SC, USA, has been nothing short of life-changing.
From the moment I met the extraordinary members of FAMM, I knew this group was special. These professionals are not just engaged and supportive—they are deeply committed to helping each other succeed. Through their philosophy of "Givers Gain," I’ve learned that the true power of networking lies not just in building your own business but in helping others achieve success as well.
BNI provides a structured referral marketing program designed to help members grow their businesses by building long-term relationships with other professionals. But I quickly discovered it goes beyond just generating referrals. The relationships I’ve built with FAMM members are rooted in genuine care and a shared purpose of mutual growth.
What amazed me most was the real dollar value generated within this group—a testament to the power of referring and trusting each other. The collaboration, encouragement, and professional insight I’ve gained have elevated my business projects in ways I couldn’t have imagined.
If you’ve been looking for a way to grow your business while being part of a supportive and dynamic community, I can’t recommend BNI enough. It’s about more than business—it’s about building connections that create lasting impact.
Thank you, FAMM, for showing me the true meaning of collaboration and for being such an integral part of my journey!
