Summary
I believe that passion and eagerness to learn can take a person far in their field of work. I began tinkering with electronics and being very involved in the hobby of amateur radio at an early age. Over the years I have worked hard to get to positions where I can learn from people with experience. I have then used that knowledge to better my self and my skills. I am dedicated to bringing those skills and knowledge I have to the work place and learning from those senior to me in order to quickly become an effective and reliable employee.
