Summary

I'm a very skilled, friendly, and mechanically inclined worker offering 10+ years of experience in warehouse/manufacturing, welding/fabrication, and customer service environments. My best trait (and maybe my worst trait) is that I'm very meticulous. I'm a fast learner, I'm very productive, and I care about my work.
