Summary
Raised on a farm, I was taught the need for a strong work ethic and pushed to strive for academic excellence. Having a strong ability to learn and unique gift with mathematics combined with farm work and equipment repair throughout my life, Ive aquired a strong diverse set of skills with machinery and equipment. I greatly enjoy working with machinery, troubleshooting and repair. My interests are bold in design, engineering, and innovation. My wishes are to continue education for a mechanical engineering degree while having hands on experience in work.
