Summary

I have 12 years of experience in commercial art and graphics before I went into car sales in 1994. I retired from the car business in 2018 and went to work part-time as a car transporter and ran a lottery store part time until my wife fell ill with COPD and I left the lottery store to take care of her full time. I spent the past 4 plus years as a full-time caregiver for her until she recently passed away. I am looking for part-time work to supplement my retirement income.
