National Account Manager  at OccuNomix International LLC

Accounting & Finance

<p>I am a life long Southern California resident with a breadth of experience and an ownership mindset working within the action sports and PPE industry. I have focused on heat and cold stress and have spent a lot of time within the eCommerce and OEM/Custom product fields. Bringing a customer service flair to everything you do seems to be a lost art these days. Remembering that "everyone is a customer" is a core value that can save a lot of added work and lost business with some simple actions now.</p><p>Working with unique items and unique customers with unique needs makes life interesting.</p>
