Summary
Need a reason to get up the morning. I don't need to work but want to. Just moved to the desert from the beach area.
I have worked in a couple of different fields from a small grocery market to selling alcoholic beverages for some of the largest breweries at the time.
I am handy with my hands and tools adept with a smart phone and computer.
