Summary

Hardworking and passionate job seeker with strong ties across the USA in the Harley-Davidson world. Harley-Davidson has been my passion and life for over 15 years. I love the aftermarket product for Harley. I love learning about products, designing products, figuring out the problems whether it be mechanical or aesthetically. I work great with people and I have a strong customer and friends list across the country. I'm always "whats next?" Always looking to the future as long as current products are having no issues.
