Summary
I graduated high school with all four years of welding and advanced welding. My first job was GPS Trailers right out of high school but was under paid for the quality and proficiency of my work. Anderson’s paid and worked me well but management in the company wasn’t professional. I worked at Nivel when the Covid pandemic hit. I just recently worked at GPS again and just had my first two children with complications of living arrangements and now looking for a j ob closer to home.
