I am a mechanically inclined individual who enjoys being a member of a successful productive team. While quick to grasp new ideas and concepts, I am able to develop innovative and creative solutions to problems by continually expanding m technical knowledge and skills. Although I have spent 19 years working an overnight schedule, I am flexible to work both/split day or night schedule. I possess the high levels of motivation required to respond, complete or learn any project/job in an efficient and timely manner.
