Summary

I Grew Up living on a farm In the green Mountains of Vermont. Learning a base of skills using my hands which helped me be a useful to the family business after moving to Iowa. I also worked At Molly's Restaurant learning important people skills and how to deal with all kinds of people. After moving to Iowa I worked several different jobs as well as participating in activities. I used lots of different skills teaching people to ski. Including being kind and understanding; working with people from all ages. I learned skills and working with my hands on the farm. As a life guard I learned what it means to have a great responsibility so that you can keep others safe. Through my various activities I learned leadership skills. Such as the value of the each and every person in the team. As well as the important quality of leading by example.
