Summary
I have been with my current employer for over four years now. I have been taking classes and getting certified in multiple areas. I was with my previous employer for over 24 years. I am seeking a job where I can make a difference to not only advance myself but the company as well.
I am willing to go out of my way to help others. I take pride in my work and do my best to complete any and all jobs correctly and on time. I previously volunteered my time as league president and head coach at Columbiana youth football for a total of ten years, along with volunteering to build dance props, haul dance props, and do whatever I can for the kids over the past ten years.
