Summary
I would love to have the opportunity to continue to paint as a head painter in the collision repair industry. Anything I can learn to help myself grow as a professional and a person as well helping the company I work for grow and succeed is one of my main goals . I also would be honored to obtain a job that I could stay at for a long period of time and know it's a secure and safe place to work. I take a lot of pride in making sure I continue to keep myself at the highest level of my own potential as possible.

Hobbies and Interests
I have grown up in the automotive industry with my family owning a shop when I was a child and was given a block and a paint gun at a young age. I am looking to continue to learn and become an even better painter than I am now and help the company I work for succeed. I grew up racing motocross for 13 years and turned professional at 16. It took a lot of hard work but I do believe it helped me with traits and skills that I have today with just not giving up or to work hard for something that you want. I have a long term girlfriend and she has a daughter so I do like to do things together with them as a family. I would love to continue to make them proud and work hard in a company with room to grow
