Seeking Sales & Marketing Opportunities within the Boating and Marine Industry 
I recently moved to Dunedin FL from landlocked Texas near Dallas and want to pursue a position in the Marine and Boating Industry.
Some of my Sales & Marketing background first..I am skilled and accomplished leader in both Director level and Sr. Manager positions handling Sales & Marketing functions for High Technology business sectors in Digital Printing for past 20 years for multi-national corporations with revenues exceeding $600 million. Designed and supervised the building of a high – technology center 23,000 sq ft showroom, demo center, shipping, and tech training facility with complete P&L Regional responsibility in Irving TX contributing revenues more than $5.5 million dollars towards our corporate goals. Managed over 8 employees for Mimaki USA in this center for a world leading Japanese manufacturer of Digital printers and cutting devices used in boat wraps, signage, graphic arts, decals, soft signage textiles and industrial printer platform products. www.mimakiusa.com I have worked for several Marinas during the weekends in Lake Lanier Georgia in the past doing part time work for weekends and holidays earlier in my career path.
Enough about my background and past, moving forward now..
I am currently looking for sales or marketing opportunities in the Marine and Boating Marketplace. I can represent a Boating Manufacturer or Marine OEM Component suppliers selling to manufacturers or dealers. Skill strengths are in Sales, Marketing and Management using my talents and abilities.
My future goals and career desires is to now get out of Digital Print and back to my love of everything aquatic including Sales, Marketing, or Management opportunities for Marina and Boating organizations that could use my education, business background and experience for a position in this Maritime Marketplace. Having recently moved from Dallas TX after 3 years of being landlocked from the Oceans, I am ready for a quality of life experience career change by working for a maritime business off the waters on the coast of Florida.
My family has always been around the Marine business with my Father as President of S.E.L. Maduro Stevedoring based out of Port of Miami, a Brother recently retired as a Longshoreman in Ft. Lauderdale and served in the USCG service. I have always been around boats all my life growing up and handled my parents Bertram, Hatteras, and Egg Harbor boats during my time living in Miami while attending and graduating from the University of Miami -Rosenthiel School of Marine Science with a B.S. degree in Marine Sciences.
I know this is a detailed cover letter, but I really have a passion to work again in the Marine and Boating Marketplace in one form or another if your organization can see my “value proposition” and make the most of my talents and abilities in sales, marketing or management roles in your organization. I am prepared and open to discuss re-location if necessary as long as it is in Florida, as I am single, can re-locate, but do prefer the West coast of Florida.
I have a successful track record in my respective business sector today and references that you can reach out too once requested. My qualifications and business experience for reaching out to Marina facilities, Boating Manufacturers & Dealers or companies involved in the Boating Business: What I can do for you..- Meet annual revenue goals for operating budgets and managing expenditures with team members

- I have experience and enjoy traveling to meet the various manufacturers and dealers who would interested in supplying their particular product as supplier or to current boat owners interested in upgrading their vessel with one of your products.
I can certainly send you my current Resume with my background in the Digital Printing Industry if requested but really needed to express my wanton desire to move into the marina and boating industry as soon as possible and not be looked down upon as not being involved in this boating & marine industry for most of my career as a deterrent in hiring consideration. I can certainly bring a fresh attitude and offer new perspectives and ideas coming from the outside. My value is what I can do with the products you offer for you manufacturers and/or boat dealers seeking sales personnel. We can make this a successful enterprise model for us both.
