Experience
Inventory Manager 06/2021 – Present
Cascade Junction Distribution Reno, NV
- Own $34M of inventory across 3 distribution centers and 14,000 active SKUs, leading a team of 11 across counting and control.
- Raised cycle count accuracy from 91.4% to 99.2% over three years by moving to daily ABC-weighted counts with same-day discrepancy research.
- Released $6.1M in working capital by lifting inventory turns from 4.2 to 6.8, achieved without any increase in stockout rate.
Inventory Supervisor 03/2018 – 05/2021
Truckee Ridge Wholesale Sparks, NV
- Supervised 6 inventory staff at a single site holding $12M in stock across 5,200 SKUs.
- Cut shrink from 1.8% to 0.4% of cost of goods sold, worth roughly $1.4M a year, by tightening receiving and pick verification.
- Delivered 3 consecutive physical inventories with a book-to-count variance under 0.5%, against a company threshold of 2%.
Inventory Analyst 07/2016 – 02/2018
Basin Creek Supply Group Carson City, NV
- Analyzed stock performance across 3,800 SKUs, producing the monthly excess and obsolete review for 4 category managers.
- Identified $2.3M in slow-moving stock over 18 months, of which $1.7M was cleared through markdown and vendor return programs.
- Rebuilt reorder points on 900 high-velocity items, cutting stockouts on that group from 6.2% to 1.9%.
Projects
Cycle Count Program Redesign. Replaced quarterly wall-to-wall counts with daily ABC-weighted cycle counting and a same-day rule for researching any variance. Accuracy rose from 91.4% to 99.2% and the annual physical inventory shutdown was eliminated entirely.
Working Capital Program. Segmented 14,000 SKUs by velocity and margin, then reset safety stock and reorder parameters by segment rather than by blanket rule. Turns moved from 4.2 to 6.8 and $6.1M in working capital was released with no service level loss.
Shrink Root Cause Investigation. Traced 18 months of adjustments back to their originating transaction to find where stock actually went missing. Three receiving and picking gaps accounted for most of it, and closing them took shrink from 1.8% to 0.4%.
Extra-Curricular Activities
- Volunteer warehouse coordinator for a northern Nevada food bank, running the quarterly count of about 5,000 line items.
- Member of the Association for Supply Chain Management, attending the regional conference and 6 chapter events a year.
- Mentor 3 supply chain students a year through a university program, including site tours and resume review.
Leadership
- Lead a team of 11 across 3 sites, with 4 promoted into supervisor or analyst roles in the past three years.
- Chair the monthly inventory governance meeting with 6 leaders from operations, finance, and purchasing.
- Drove the rollout of daily cycle counting across 3 sites, retiring a wall-to-wall count process used for over a decade.
