Summary

I recently moved to Michigan after living 15 years in Alaska. Alaska was mostly seasonal employment due to its remote location and seasonal weather. Since my son was born I have been "stay at home Dad". I have enrolled my son in daycare and I have been working since then to support him. I am looking to find work to better myself and my family where my skills can be utilized to benefit the team and the company. I have a strong work ethic and interpersonal skills. I am a team player and work best when there is a team type of atmosphere. Family is very important to me and I like to carry that sentiment into my work environment. I am professional, pay attention to detail, have well-honed organizational, labor and teamwork skills. I always try to better myself in my work, taking pride in a job well done. In addition I am self motivated and disciplined. My customer service skills are top notch, adaptable and flexible. I'm very motivated, dependable and responsible. I believe in putting my best foot forward and work to establish a happy and safe work environment for co-workers and customers. Past employers consider me reliable, punctual, hard working, and enthusiastic.
