Summary

I have been in the Utility Locating/ Operating business for 9 years. Also, I served in the United States National Guard as an infantryman for 6 years. My goal is to obtain a range/ classroom to teach firearms, while also being a gunsmith for competitive shooting firearms. I want to obtain a job that will better give me experience to achieve this goal.
