Summary

An unquestioned mental strength of believing in oneself to achieve and accomplish anything with enough determination and opportunity. Confident and calm with an adaptive work ethic to be either multi-dimensional or singularly utilized. Respectful, professional and hardworking with leadership qualities.

I’ve worked with high profile clients over the last 5 years such as Mass State Police, Raytheon and The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. I have designed, built and maintained communication systems for local Police, Fire and EMS across the state.

I seek a career that allows me the opportunity to utilize my determination and has a strong belief in me. A challenging and unique opportunity. A company that believes the ability of achieving any goal is with persistence, an understanding of patience and never-ending belief.
