Summary

Within my 30 years of service to the community working at various jobs and wearing many different hats I have learned not only the value of them as well. I stride for customer satisfaction and will go above and beyond not just for the customer but for the company I represent. My day to day passions correlates hand in hand with any job that I participate in. I am a team leader by nature and am willing to exceed the basic expectation. As a leader I enjoy, better yet thrive on taking initiative in problem solving and being a great example for not only my fellow employee's but for the customers as well.
