My first job was with a drug chain in California <br />which sold liquor. I am familiar with what it takes to buy and sell alcohol at a profit. I would offer <br />an experienced view on how to profitability run a county wide retail operation.My retail <br />experience and my store planning experience give a unique view point on how to run and <br />operate a retail store which specializes in alcohol. <br />With over 40 years of experience in all phases of retail, I can contribute insight on all phases of <br />your retail operation <br />Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br />I want to give back to the community that I have lived for the past 30 years. <br />Conflict of Interest: <br />The company that I work for has in the past designed and installed several stores for the Orange <br />County ABC Board. I have had nothing to do with any of the projects in the past or will have <br />nothing to do with any in the future. <br />10
