Additional Information
In my off time I enjoy reading books of all kinds from self-help books to novels to historical nonfiction. I enjoy going to the movies with my wife. I also like to listen to podcasts about fitness, improving my life, and occasionally the news. I help out in my church when needed, usually lending a hand with my wife in the children's classes along with physical labor for our building project. I have also volunteered to help those in my community who are at risk during the COVID-19 crisis.
At the time of writing the resume I am waiting to take the drug screening for a reserve police officer position with The Dalles Police Department. This is a position that would require ten hours a month in uniform alongside training when available.
