MATTHEW BRENNEISEN
Springfield,Illinois
Summary
I am the second youngest of a family of seven children. As I am one of the youngest, I have been able to witness the hard work and dedication exhibited by my parents and older siblings that is necessary to be successful. As the captain of my high school football and baseball team, I was responsible for ensuring my teammates followed the rules and maintained our high degree of work ethic and attention to detail. I am a very detailed person and I make sure things are done the right way and to the greatest detail as I firmly believe that even the littlest detail matters. I played Division 1 and 2 football, which required me to manage a huge workload every day. Being a football player and an engineering student does not allow me time to participate in other clubs. With that, I still make time to ensure that these two endeavors are given great focus and detail. I am a person who is seen as being very organized, brings a great deal of energy, has a great attitude, and is goal oriented. Because of my leadership skills, my supervisors often put me in charge. I am a hardworking, energetic, and detailed person that, when tasked with something, ensures that it is accomplished to a high standard. I am willing to confront those who do not aspire to those same expectations.
Skilled multitasker with superior work ethic and good teamwork, problem-solving and organizational skills. Willing to take on any task to help team. Reliable and dedicated team player with hardworking and resourceful approach.
