Dear Sirs, My name is Michael Navarrete. I was raised in Stratford Texas and graduated from Stratford High in 1998. I moved to Amarillo after graduation to start my professional career and Amarillo College. I worked several jobs in construction until I became employed at Bnsf RailRoad in 2006. In 2016 I met my beautiful wife and my new step children. I now have a family of six including my daughter and I felt it was my responsibility to end my 11 year career at Bnsf so that I could be in Amarillo full time to be a husband and father. I worked several jobs in construction until I became employed by Derek Carter owner of Panhandle Ultimate Garage Systems. I am excited to present my resume to CNS Pantex to begin my long and prosperous career with your company. Sincerely, Michael Navarrete
