WHO AM I... a supply management  manager, consultant,  and trainer.    A career in  Supply Chain Management  provides so many options.  A career that I spend 40+ years perfecting. During that time I learned that book smart doesn't make you street smart.  In the business work today you are expected to hit the bricks running something degree programs often can't deliver on. They do provide the basis and good foundation, however learning how implement what has been taught can be a challenge.  After seeing first hand that new staff lacked that knowledge I chose to teach what I had earned to others who may not have the opportunity to learn them on the job but needed the skills to them to further their career.
