NASCAR Collection
I have always been interested in NASCAR, but it went to a new level when I became a fan of Jeff Gordon #24. I have been collecting NASCAR die cast cars for over 10 years, and currently have 500+ on display at my personal museum. I enjoy watching the races, and have had the opportunity to go to a few races and take a drive on the track at Dover.
Additional Information
I am proficient in formulating relationships, results oriented, an effective communicator and self-disciplined. I will bring a vast amount of experience and strong work skills to an organization that values its employees and supports continued growth in competencies.
