I enjoy building custom vehicles for myself, and others in my free time. I also repair automotive amplifiers and very complicated remote control vehicles. I enjoy welding, fabricating, and electrical troubleshooting down to board level.

If I am given the opportunity, I can assure you that you will not be disappointed. I come to work every day, on time. I am highly motivated, and a very quick learner. I keep to myself, and concentrate on the tasks at hand. If i can just get my foot in the door, I will NOT let you down.  I'm easy to get along with, and am very non-confrontational. I try and hold myself to a very regimented higher standard and will reflect these qualities for the company I work for, as well as my immediate supervisor. I multi task very well, and am very capable of handling tasks inside and outside of my required duties. I manage my time very well. No task is too big, or too small for me to handle.
