Summary

I am a truck driver by trade but I want to explore more opportunity for advancement, as well as gain new skills/leadership qualities, and bring an aspect of my energetic personality to a setting that can be valued in a group of peers and professionals alike, or stand alone when it calls for it.

I am very coachable and am eager to learn, and grow beyond my own capabilities, I thrive outside my comfort zone. I like to be rewarded with challenges and situations that strengthen me mentally and physically.
