Summary

I'm a reliable and adaptable employee with a great number of skills for my age. I've been working from my early teens in various positions to gather communication skills, strong work ethic, and discipline. From working on different things with my hands such as welding, fabrication work, and Automotive CNC programming, to excelling in sales roles across two industries and operating a business. I believe I can, and hope for the opportunity to, be a valuable asset to your company.
