Summary

As you can see my experience and work history do not reflect a journalism back ground and i have not attended any university. I am however, very intuitive, a good story teller, and have a deep passion for the truth. I got into construction at 21 thinking "I have to find a career." I did not expect to be so proficient in it and frankly, must do something more important with my life. One thing my experience will show is that i am very driven and a fast learner. i have gone from being the only english speaking person on the job to the lead superintendent in less than eight years. I have a hard time saying that without feeing boastful, but it is a fact and one i am very proud of. I have a unique ability to put myself through personal strife for the good of a team and goal in which i believe in. I also never in my life expected to see the decline in journalism and honest reporting we have witnessed the last decade or so. If I am being honest, to be a journalist; a real journalist like you guys, always felt as unattainable as being a TV actor. I did not expect for most of the people going into the business to in fact see themselves as TV actors. There is nothing i believe more in than the true and honest reporting that is/was detrimental to the founding and continuance of the greatest country on earth. I am the type of guy, point me in a direction and i will bring you the rest. I know i can be a valued addition to your organization. Thank you for your time.
