Love to work on my own personal fleet of vehicles. Every new car acquired brings new challenges that strengthen my mechanical expertise.
I've been running all over the globe since I got introduced to Cross Country during my years in Junior High.
Having 14 species of game fish in my own backyard, along the Wild Cat Creek, has just been a blessing; never know what you are going to catch.

Processed civilian and military orders with speed and accuracy ensuring that materials arrived promptly and securely to appropriate destinations.
Achieved "Army Bus Driver" commendations twice for dedication to safety and maintenance to small fleet of vehicles.
