JACKSON DABNEY
I started my career in hospitality at Chick-fil-A for two years, where I learned the essentials of running a clean, healthy, and successful business, and all of the challenges that come with it. I learned how to speak and treat people, as well as necessary skills such as cleanliness, timeliness, multitasking, and working under pressure. I then decided to pursue a carpentry job to learn essential skills like task management, and just to gain general knowledge on things that will be useful to know as a future homeowner. From building decks to remodeling kitchens and building cabinets, I learned how to persevere through hard work. Using teamwork to complete tasks, thinking critically to get jobs done, or even improvising to come out successful. Recently, I was a driven real estate intern with hands-on experience in property management, market research, and data analysis. Now I'm a licensed real estate agent at Mcleod and Associates in Camden, SC, as well as a business owner of Backyard Country Club where we sell Trackman Golf Simulators and provide a place to put them, specifically buildings, bar areas, kitchen areas, or anything the client may want or need.
