I Ship Boxes

“So what do you do for a living?”
“Oh, you know… I ship boxes.”

I've given the same answer for years. I ship boxes. Sometimes pallets. Sometimes truckloads. Sometimes containers. But for the most part - I ship boxes. And I LOVE shipping them too. It doesn't matter what is in them or their size or their shape. (btw...one of my talents is the ability to make a box from a sheet of cardboard in under a minute).

The long version?
I manage a complex supply chain, calm chaos disguised as “last-minute customer requests,” and somehow turn trucks, warehouses, and spreadsheets into happy customers.

“I ship boxes” really means:
I solve problems no one sees.
I connect systems that don’t want to talk to each other.
I make sure your favorite brand actually shows up when you click “Buy Now.”

Because behind every marketing campaign, every DTC drop, every retail launch - someone somewhere is literally just trying to make sure the box ships.

So yeah, I ship boxes. But those boxes? They keep the business alive.
