Summary
I have the strength to do what needs to be done along with the appropriate welding knowledge to get started. I am willing to work hard and learn other skills through problem solving and teamwork in order to fulfill the job requirements. I consider myself to be detail oriented while having effective communication with coworkers and customers. Having experience in various agriculture settings growing up has given me experience in a wide range of jobs. I would consider it a "farm kid" background with being in the field and building or fixing things in a shop setting or outdoors.
