Summary
I'm a jack-of-all-trades kinda guy. I've done a little bit of everything, from traditional warehouse/manufacturing jobs to digital animation. I prefer to be taught how to do a job up-front and personal, and while it may take some trial and error on my end, once I get the basics of something, it becomes less of a 'job' and more of a 'routine'. Think of me as a ball of clay- whatever mold you want me to fill, I'll fill it.
