Broken Arrow,Oklahoma

Summary

After graduating high school in Custer, SD I went to Black Hills State University where I joined the Army National Guard. I worked for a lawn and tree service while in college. After my third year of college I decided to move back home to Tulsa, Ok where all my family was located.

I started working at ADT right after moving back where I worked for 13 years. My brother and I also had a remodel business on the side for a couple of years while we both worked at ADT. While working there I attained as many licenses as I could and in 2011 I decided to start my own alarm business with my brother. We have built our business to 12 employees and 2M annual revenue. At this point I have management in place to run the business with minimal oversight.

Additional Information

My wife Heather and I are looking to become work campers. We want to travel around this beautiful country to see new places and experience new areas of our wonderful country. Our children are grown and we feel it is the perfect time to travel before we have grandkids. We are looking for somewhere that provides a full hookup campsite and part time wages for both of us. We are open to working 3-4 days with 3-4 days off together to be able to explore the country side. We are both exercise regularly and are in good shape and have minimal limitations. I am open to grounds maintenance, handyman work, cleaning or office work. I have experience running all types of power tools and lawn maintenance. I also have extensive computer skills. I have run my business for 12 years and have good organizational skills and customer service. My wife Heather is open to cleaning and office work. She currently helps answer phones and takes payments for my business. Before that she was a hard working stay at home mom. She did work as a cashier at a cupcake shop for a year before coming to help at our business. She is very friendly with customers, but is not afraid to get her hands dirty. We are very reliable people and would be a value to your business.
