Summary

I am a young man with a very strong work ethic. I have learned through the years of operating my business's so many important workplace and life skills. I have learned how far good communication goes, the importance of customer relations and importance of always going above and beyond to do a good job. I have a mixed bag of work experience, operating these two businesses as well as several other odd jobs such as house and pet sitting. Through my work in landscaping I know my way around equipment, and working in the outdoors, in all kinds of conditions. I learned professionalism and what it means to be dedicated to your work. I enjoyed being my own boss, it gave me a lot challenges which made me grow wiser. I enjoyed taking on the responsibility of managing my clients, work load, equipment, time and money. My work as a photographer was very enjoyable, and again learned many valuable skills. I used my talent and creativity in photography and pushed out results that all my clients loved, it was satisfying work. My experiences through these jobs will transfer over into my next work environment, making me a very valuable part of your team!
