Initially hired on as a contractor to build a unique and valuable dataset for the company, I spend months climbing around wind turbines and site warehouse collecting as much data as possible on all of the wind turbine and solar panel components required to support our vast fleet. 

 Upon completion of this work, I was hired on as the Data Warehouse Specialist, where I was to integrate and manage this data into our local and global databases, create and managed the cross-departmental processes to ensure accurate use of this data, and to create a searchable parts catalog in Microsoft SharePoint for easy identification of these materials.

 Skarberg Sales & Marketing is a local, family-owned agency that represents consumer electronics companies, such as Sony, GE, PNY, and Marshall Speakers, throughout the Pacific Northwest. Over the decade prior to my working for the agency, Amazon had gone from small change to the largest account and primary focus of their brands.

 Properly managing a business on Amazon primarily a data-driven pursuit and, while they make available copious amounts of raw data to their customers, the data is siloed and it is up the customer to draw understanding and insights from them.

 For this reason, I was hired on as the company's Business Intelligence Analyst, to manage and leverage this data into a comprehensive understanding and actionable insights.

 Having spent the last three years mastering the art of deriving understandings and insights from the vast amounts of raw data TKTK in Amazon Vendor Central, and working with Brand Managers to parlay these findings into enhanced brand strategies, I felt it was time to move on to the next challenge and a Brand Manager position seemed like the next logical step.

 A colleague of mine, who had recently founded an agency that specialized in helping CPG brands sell on Amazon, reached out to me to gauge my interest in becoming a Brand Manager at his company. After creating the assets necessary to allow my position to be turnkey for my successor and giving proper notice, I accepted his offer.

 In this role, I worked as a Brand Manager for Justin’s Nut Butter and as a Brand Specialist for a handful of other accounts.

 Managing the business of CPG food brands on Amazon, our company's business grew exponentially during the pandemic - as did our workload.

 My wife's workload and travel obligations were always TKKT

 Are kids were too young to TKTKT, let alone tktk,

 Both my wife and I prioritize our role as a parent, so we started to run down scenarios. At the end of this exercise, it was clear that the most sensible option was for me to take a hiatus from my job until our kids were back in school and things were back to normal.

 My company was both gracious and supportive of this decision.

 The few months I was home focusing on my kids during the COVID-19 shutdowns were transformative.

 Mirroring the work I had just done for my kids, I took on the role of Knowledge Manager, where I was to not only TKTK their existing Knowledge Base in Notion, but also to created process for both the finding and integrating new and updated information into it, as well as create processses for disseminating this informatino.
