About Me

I was born in a small town located in Central Ohio called Coshocton.  When I was twelve, my family was relocated to a place called Zanesville (home of the famous Y Bridge).  There is actually where I did my "growing up" and such.  I later attended Ohio University in Athens, Ohio and have a BS in Communications and Management.

I was actually involved in radio for eight years.  Through those years, I served as a DJ, production director, program director, talk show host, and news director.  You name it... and I wore that hat at one time or another.  It was while in college that I decided it would be in my best interest to "change gears" and move into interpersonal communication with specialization in management.  I suppose that's why I enjoy working in Human Resources so much.  It actually permits me to use my skills to their fullest.  Those skills combined with my technical abilities is probably why I love my job so much.  For the first time in several years I can honestly say I love my career.  I'll tell you more about the organization I represent on my link page.  I graduated from Ohio University in the spring of 1990.  If you recall, we were just getting out of a small recession and the job market was lousy at the time.  I was recruited as a manager for Kmart and stayed with that organization for over five years.  In the fall of 1995 I relocated to Toledo, Ohio as a manager for Michael's Arts and Crafts.  It was in the late summer of 1996 that I decided to refocus my career and begin a career in human resources and employment staffing.

It actually took three days to go through everything in it's entirety.  In that I'm including the riding of the rides at Camp Snoopy, an amusement park in the center of the mall. This past December I was finally able to return to that mega-mall for a second time.  It again was "absolutely fabulous"
