Summary

I am a self motivated individual, who needs little supervision to get the job done. I have been on both sides of the fence, through management and worker in the field. I Understand the necessity to perform for your customer, and producing quality work in a timely fashion. I am ready to use my technical skills to the fullest in completing all work assigned. I have been in the management side for a while now and am looking to transition back into field work. The main reason for making this transition is I am ready to lead by example rather than from an office. My time in the military has lead me to be more of an in the trenches type, than an observer.
