Summary
I have worked over 45 years in the transportation and management filed. I have always started as an entry level position and worked my way up. I retired in January 2021 and moved to New Bern, North Carolina to be near my children.
Recently, I have decided a little extra income could be helpful, not to mention, I cannot sit still. I need to find a job to keep me busy and useful.
