Summary

I am a Multifaceted young man who has years of experience in home maintenance, landscaping/lawncare, car maintenance, and fast food kitchen management due to my parents' entrepreneurial encouragement and work ethic, which they instilled in me. My family owns rental homes and a car repair business that I have worked at since I was very young. I ran my own lawncare business through most of high school, even having enough work to hire additional people. My goal is to find a good job that I can use my current experience and skills to grow into my life-long career.
