Additional Information

My friend Chad Dugas, who works for you, recommended this job to me, and it sounds right up my alley. I have been self employed for a long time, though I've worked with (and for) many different people. I enjoy what I do, but I'm interested in having reliable and consistent schedule. Always piecing together and scheduling clients throughout the year is rewarding, but is also a lot of work of its own. I am a hard worker and throw my full self into whatever work I'm doing, until whatever the assignment is is resolved. I have many problem solving skills and the tools to do it efficiently. I know a bit of Spanish, enough for light dialogue, and I have personable and eloquent social skills. On the more creative side, I am a musician, a songwriter, and musical performer, along with the other practical skills that I detailed.
