Summary

Growing up I had hands on education from numerous people with knowledge of many phases of construction and area including electrical, plumbing, masonry and wood working. After vocational college I spent time showing my knowledge in these fields. I was given the opportunity to learn a new career in law enforcement which I enjoyed and did well with my duties. I am now retired and am looking forward a career in which I went to school for which is construction. I enjoy working with my hands and have the ability to be mechanically inclined. I am also certified in first aide including CPR and have performed this in critical situations.
