I worked for Harvest Foods of Alpha Baking Company, Inc. in ‘Costco’ locations in Michigan and Toledo, Ohio for 8 years of uninterrupted service from October of 2016 to November of 2024 when Alpha Baking decided to withdraw from Michigan operations.  Merchandising bread while repetitive it allowed me to take pride in the appearance of the allotted shelve space our company was allotted and finishing well before the stores opened and never impeding other restocking operations.  I was responsible for at times of up to 13 different products 6 days a week. 

currently employed by Core-Mark International as a ‘reset’ merchandiser in gas stations.

Previously Alpha Baking, Inc. (Harvest Foods), Bread Merchandiser 8 yrs 1 month, in Costco locations in Michigan and Toledo.

Farmer's Hand 2004-2011- 1000-acre Farmstead.  Potatoes and Sugar Beets.  Stored and packed loads near year-round.

From 2011-2013 I attended Argosy University (Online) in pursuit of a BA in Psychology with an emphasis on substance abuse.  The psychology part of the equation was related to my stepdaughter's father's mental illness; the substance abuse part was a possible area of work.  I completed 99 credit-hours of the 120 required to complete the program due to financial and life strains.  Completing a degree is an interest but psychology, not so much as my school was closed during Covid and at most only 75 credits are transferable.
