Additional Information

I am currently 35 years old, and a native to the Shenandoah Valley. I am part of the LGBTQ community and offer a lot of diversity to any employer. I love music, and can play the piano, drums and saxophone (even winning an award for the top jazz player in Virginia in 2006). These days however, I spend mostly with my now 7 year old son, and wife.


My mother, Debbie (Debra) Showalter was one of the first 100 people to work at Molson Coors, in 1988. She was pregnant with me at the time. I grew up in the Coors environment, and when I was little, I always told her I would take her place one day there. She retired in 2022, and here I am, working as a temporary in the warehouse she spent many years in. I did work here as a temporary before in 2008, and I was only 19 years old. I only left because at that time I needed something full time. I came back to Coors to prove that I am full time material, and will prove that by working hard and always being consistent.
