Ground Floor Supervisor in my Dad's furniture business in Markam,
Ontario. Just out of high school, managed the 25 person shipping department. Overcame the baggage as the President's son by working extra to earn respect for my business knowledge, planning, and results. Learned how to influence people without authority. My employees began to see me as my own person. |
