Purchasing

I became a member of the JJ team in March of 2008.  I have over 30 years experience in the industry, beginning as an owner of a small retail carry out crab house.  In Chicago, I worked with the Chicago Fish House for 7 years as an account executive, primarily retail accounts.  I then moved on to Slade Gorton were I spent 8 years purchasing fresh and frozen seafood, instituting and overseeing the processing of fresh seafood, as well as packaging and the development of pack out procedures.  My most recent position was at Poseidon Seafood in Charlotte, NC as the purchasing director.  Responsibilities at Poseidon were the oversight of all seafood purchases, both fresh and frozen, as well as receiving of the product and the logistics to get it there.  Support for the sales department as well as a bridge for communications between sales and production.  My wife Karen and I have been married for 13 years and have a combined family of 4 children, 9 grandchildren, and one great grand child.  In my spare time I enjoy bicycle riding, reading, billiards, and most importantly, time with my family.
