Summary
I have worked in many fields and have taken the best I could from each field. I have slowly grown into the Agriculture world and now love working in that field. I have became a salesman of myself and company to sell fence construction and similar jobs to farmers and ranchers across the south. I have grown to become technically proficient in the jobs I perform in the agricultural field. I have worked with government agencies to complete fences and other projects. I have never received a complaint or have had any issues brought up to me after performing the contracted jobs through the USDA program. I pride myself in performing the best I can in the environment I'm working in.
