\"BILL<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

My career started with Roosevelt Paper back in 1978. A friend of mine worked as a manager and I asked him if there was an opportunity to work there as summer help. I worked the summer of 1978 and 1979, in what used to be our Philadelphia plant, wrapping skids and rolls<\/a>, bailing, shafting, sweeping, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

As I was approaching graduation from Temple University<\/a> in 1980, I began searching for a job where I could use my BBA in Accounting. It just so happened that 1980 was also a recession year and many companies were not hiring. My friend suggested that I apply to work as a supervisor at Roosevelt Paper in the new Kentucky division. After a short interview process, I got the job and started training immediately in Philadelphia.  I took my last final on Friday May 9th<\/sup>, moved from my parents\u2019 home in PA on May 10th<\/sup> and started my Supervisory career in Kentucky on May 12th<\/sup>.  I have been fortunate to be employed for over 41 years in various positions ever since. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Timeline at Roosevelt:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

May 1980 \u2013 December 1982<\/em> Shipping\/Receiving Supervisor, Kentucky Division<\/p>\n\n\n\n

January 1983 \u2013 February 1990<\/em> Receiving Supervisor, Philadelphia Division<\/p>\n\n\n\n

February 1990 \u2013 October 1990<\/em> Temporary Plant Manager, Chicago Division<\/p>\n\n\n\n

October 1990 \u2013 July 1991<\/em> 2nd<\/sup> Shift Production\/Shipping Supervisor, Philadelphia Division<\/p>\n\n\n\n

July 1991 \u2013 2001<\/em> Plant Manager, Philadelphia Division<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2001 \u2013 Present<\/em> Operations Manager<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, the biggest highlight of my career with Roosevelt has been working with all of the great people.  I am grateful for all the help and support from the numerous individuals along the way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be entrusted with making decisions that affect so many employees and their families is truly a humbling experience.  It is incredibly rewarding to be able to offer the same opportunities to others as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have worked at Roosevelt since May 1980 and in the sunset of my career I am constantly asking myself \u201cWhat have I done with my dash\u201d.  The \u201cdash\u201d is that little mark that we all insert between dates.  Hopefully, I have been a positive influence on all those great individuals and have made Roosevelt a better place to work during my \u201cdash\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
