Summary

I have been blessed over the years to be around many people with knowledge in all sorts of fields that help me provide a wide array of talents and skills that I enjoy being able to utilize in my daily life. I am currently looking for a change of pace and potentially a complete career change. I was born and raised on the farm in Iowa and I have basically been in agriculture my entire working life. I look forward to expanding my knowledge in another field and find a place I can settle in and potentially make my next career. I am a very fast hands on learner and enjoy working with others. Please reach out! I would love to talk further on my previous experience.
