Trent Armstrong: Freelance Writer | Freelance Drummer in Mission Viejo, CA

I am currently a freelance contributing writer for HomeFront Magazine, and I volunteer write for Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California where I am a drummer on the worship arts team. I am also a freelance drummer at multiple other churches around Orange County, I give private drum lessons, and I blog at trentarmstrong.com. I am passionate about encouraging people through writing, music, and communication that inspires and promotes healthy relationships.

As the Operations/Logistics Manager at SUP ATX, I reported directly to the COO & President as I spear-headed multiple vital roles. I controlled all company-wide inventories. I controlled our supply chain from Asia factories, all the way to consumer. I handled all intl imports & exports from start to finish while negotiating rates and maintaining accounts with carriers & freight forwarders. I managed all intl & domestic shipments for wholesale, retail, distribution, and e-commerce channels which included small parcel, air freight, LTL, and FTL shipments. I managed EDI compliance with big box accounts such as Amazon and Costco.com. I maintained relationships with 3PL facilities while also remotely managing multiple DC's nationwide. I also managed our e-commerce platforms in both Magento & Shopify while maintaining all integration software for shipping and Quickbooks data flow. I created SKUs, PO's, and received company-wide inventory within Quickbooks Enterprise for multiple locations.
