Summary

The objective for submitting this resume is to re-enter into the environmental field and help build a strong office in the Akron area that clients around the country can trust and depend on. I hope to work my way up the chain of command in this company, bettering myself and the company along the way! I believe that my physical skills, size, and unique skill set put together from doing many odd jobs throughout my high school and college years (electrical work, plumbing apprentice etc.) and my professional career in the environmental field make me a perfect candidate for this job and would make it far easier on the company since there would be very little training or on boarding, if any, needed before I can start putting my skills to work to begin helping the company and its upcoming jobs.

I was revered by many of my customers as the most knowledgeable manager around and drew in tons of business by word of mouth because I was honest and concise! I also needed to look the part in my opinion , so I made sure to be in great physical shape as well!
