Summary

Dear VDOT Representative,

My last eight years of work have given me a great deal of experience in many different environments, and I believe I would be a good asset for your department. I have worked with VDOT's Martinsville, VA bridge crew, as well as being a plumber, and a machinist. I have obtained a CDL Class A learners permit and plan on going to school on the weekends to obtain my license. I have an OSHA 10 certification, and I am a graduated Eagle Scout. Now I run my own business building cabinets for people and plumbing. I would appreciate the opportunity to show you how I can help your department meet its goals.

Sincerely,

Charlie R. Lawson
