Summary

In the almost 14 years of my employment I have hand built my resume into what I am very proud of. I did this all through determination, handwork, and the willingness to better myself. I work hard and try to provide a positive attitude for myself and those around me. I pride myself on living by the golden rule inside and outside of work. And most importantly, always find time for the things that matter most in life. To me that is my family.
