Additional Information

I started working in 2001 at Holiday Inn as a lawn boy for a couple days a week during the summer. Then later in 2002 for Artios when I was a junior in high school. Every morning 6 days a week I would wake up before school drive to down town Kalamazoo knock on the back door and Ray would let me into the post office. I would clean for about an hour and then head off to school for the day. On the weekends I would clean Monaco Bay and the upstairs offices. Doing this while maintaining an average grade, having money to spend on fuel and insurance was all a kid needed. Half way through my senior year I dropped out of high school and became a dad at a young age. 14 months later adding one more son to the happy young family. I knew the importance to education, so I achieved getting my GED. Doing all this carved and sculpted me to be an honest hard working man. Over all objective to secure a full time position with a viable local company where I can use my talents to perform at the high level and also have the opportunity to learn and adopt new skills.
