Greatest Accomplishments:

"My greatest accomplishment is how far I have come with Yale Appliance + Lighting. I started working for Yale when I was 18 years young. I still remember my interview with the owner, Steve Sheinkopf, like it was yesterday. I showed up in a shirt and tie, which I wasn't too comfortable wearing yet. When he met me he saw something that he thought was promising and wanted to give me a chance. They didn't even have an open position so he said, "don't worry, we will find something for you to do." I started in the warehouse and from there I was on the install truck. Years later, I was running the parts department. Almost 10 years have past and now I'm in sales. Working for the company this long makes it so much easier to help people decide what appliance is best for them. I love working for Yale, it is my second family."
