Summary
Dynamic law enforcement officer with proven communication and emergency management skills, honed at Sangamon County Sheriffs Office. Adept at managing high-stress situations. Very capable of performing mechanical diagnostics, ensuring safety and operational efficiency. Recognized for fostering collaboration among agencies and maintaining equipment reliability in challenging environments. Im aware my background is a little all over the place. I still weld and build things in my shop and work on all sorts of equipment and vehicles almost daily. To be completely honest this career path I'm currently in just does not fulfill curiosity or my need to solve problems. Would love a chance to get back into a hands on building related field with a great company.
