Summary

I'm a self motivated hard worker that doesn't miss work often. Who is always willing to learn more to further my skills, or to add new skills or abilities to better my work. Easy to work with and willing to work as a team to achieve required goals, in a proper, safe, efficient manner. I'm looking for a career not just a job. I have various skills and abilities in a wide range of fields. Been working with my hands using various tools and equipment most of my life. I recently moved to the area for my wife to further her career. So I'm looking for a place to start my career over using my many skills, abilities, and experiences.
