Note

I am the above and beyond type, I go out of my way for each service I complete. Never missed a single contract/day of work. I am extremely confident in my work and abilities. I am very professional with every service I complete. I do not require much direction or guidance. I am always looking for new opportunities to increase my knowledge, skills, and qualifications. I love to travel the area visiting different locations that I would not have otherwise had the opportunity to visit. I like to keep things mixed up. I have been onsite for the resetting, moving, and opening of multiple Dollar General Stores across Southern Illinois. I have just finished a Wal-mart remodel/reset in Benton, Illinois for T-ROC through Survey. I was also employed for a short time with Premium Retail Services. I am well known in the area by many businesses and members of Management along with many Vendors. I have worked hard to obtain the standing that I currently possess in the area. I provide quality service and take pride in each job I complete. I am excited for the opportunity to work with your company and I hope to hear from you soon. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions you may have. Email/text are my preferred methods of contact as I am not always able to answer my phone. Thank you
