I am a highly motivated, physically active individual with over a decade of experience working in customer service, and several seasons working in the demanding (and often stressful) field of arbor culture. I have worked as a manager for the past five years, which has led me to becoming very knowledgeable at coordinating with other individuals to achieve difficult tasks. I'm able to maintain an upbeat attitude while being detail oriented, and I'm always willing to learn new skills and take on fresh challenges with an open mind. I take immense pride my work ethic and self improvement, while simultaneously being open to constructive criticisms in order to further my knowledge of any job or task at hand. I was awarded the rank of Eagle Scout at 17 and have taken several courses in First Aid certification. I've also been an avid outdoorsman and self-taught musician for the majority of my life.
