I am currently the chief buyer for Warrior Coal. I oversee the purchasing and distribution of all items that are used in the processing of coal at Warrior. I also have seven people that directly work for me. I am responsible for their performance as well as their safety records. I am a big believer in safety and procedures. I continue to learn something almost daily about my current position and truly believe that a person can always learn from someone else on how to be a better overall employee and person. I have been in my current role since October 2023. My job entails a lot of computer work using Microsoft Office, Adobe, and currently we are using Oracle Fusion. I am also very proud of over thirty years without a loss time accident. In addition, I have sixteen years of perfect attendance with Alliance Coal / Warrior Coal.
