POWERS BILLBOARDS LLC.
Peter Powers
With over ten years working in the advertising industry in California, I am now looking to expand and pursue new opportunities. I have experience in business management, elevating startups, and have aided in fundraising for various nonprofits. I am self-motivated, work well with others, and goal oriented. Faith in Christ has been my moral compass, and I enjoy biblical studies and conversations. I am open to opportunities within my industry but also open to exploring new channels of personal growth and income. Additionally, my family and I are open to relocating for a worthy cause or business venture.
