Career Objective
I am seeking long-term employment within the safety/risk management industry. I take great pride in maintaining a professional, moral and ethical work practice unbiased to race, religion, gender, sexual orientation or cultural/economical background of contacted employees. Due to restructuring my current company has eliminated the position of local safety director creating this opportunity for me to devote my skills and dedication to another employer. Combining my law enforcement skills and studies of driver behavior my goals with Knight Transportation were surpassed by accomplishing a loss reserve cut of 2/3 by lowering the reserve from $1,505,244.36 annually to $530,012.10 in fewer than three years.
