Summary
During my time as an operator at Eastman Chemical Company, I won employee of the year seven times. I also served as a safety coordinator for all shifts at Eastman Chemical Company.
The seven years I worked as a pipe fitter for construction, I was the first contractor to have hand-drawn ISO's into Eastman's CAD system.
I am an organized and dependable candidate successful at managing multiple priorities with a positive attitude. Also, I have a willingness to take on added responsibilities to meet team goals.
My goal is to seek and maintain full-time position that offers professional challenges utilizing interpersonal skills, excellent time management and problem-solving skills.

My first life priority is God. I choose to live my life according to the Christian principles of the Bible. Second only to God is my family. I am married and have two biological children, ages 9 and 16. My wife has four children ages 13 to 22. We love to spend time playing board games and/or video games. My family, including my Mom and Dad, sister and niece are very close and spend as much time as possible together. Every year on Memorial Day weekend, we all go to Galveston to spend a few days on the beach together. We also go to church together.
Music has been a huge part of my life since I was about 12. For several years before my daughter was born, I was part of a heavy metal band that played locally. I have written songs and music and enjoy accompanying my daughter on guitar when she sings. I find that music is relaxing, soothing, and inspiring.
