Summary

My name is Gavin Mccracken, I am 32 years old and currently looking for work within the Information Technology field. I am currently using my GI bill to complete an associates degree in computer programming from GRCC. I have one class to finish before I graduate and im taking it now. I plan to continue using the GI bill to continue my education for a bachelors but I would like to start getting some on the job experience as well. I spent 5 years in the Army and worked around many different kinds of people and in many different places. After the army I started going to school for general IT however after taking one of the required programming classes I fell in love with the work and promptly changed my degree to programming. I am very motivated and hungry to continue learning this material. It has become a passion of mine and I would love the chance to grow and learn from a great company like this one. Thank you for your time and consideration.
