Tad Zaccard
Bayfield
Summary
In 2015 I moved from Arizona to Colorado to build an eco-friendly, self sustainable home and lifestyle.
With absolutely no building experience and many Youtube searches on how to build a home, I did just that and have been living here in Durango Colorado every since.
Currently I am looking to move back to Arizona to develop and build on some land I recently purchased and am looking for part time employment.
I have a diverse background including 3 years as the top sales associate at Durango Organics, knowledge in home building and gardening amongst many other trades.
I've excelled in fast-paced environments, achieving a 100% cash handling accuracy rate and enhancing customer loyalty through expert advice, improving buying experience and elevating company profile with targeted markets.
Consistently recognized for sales performance and excellence in customer service.
Collaborative leader with dedication to partnering with coworkers to promote engaged, empowering work culture.
