Summary

I graduated from Saint Stephens. I started my welding degree in high school to gain the credits, then finished at Surry. I worked in Statesville briefly with two welding jobs, then moved locations to Boone where I achieved my business degree and worked in grading/landscaping. I have always been a person of character. I show up when im told and I don't leave until the job is finished. I am able to work well alone, as well as in a team setting. I am a hardworker and will do as im told to achieve what needs to be done.

I have communication and personable skills that I have obtained throughout the years. I feel that I can be a great asset to any work environment due to my flexibility, punctuality, honest and respectable personality.

Snowboaring

I started snowboarding when I was five. I used to compete when I was younger with the support of my family. I decided it wasn't something to pursue professionally but simply as a hobby. I enjoy going as much as I am able to. Its an outlet for me to relieve stress and simply enjoy myself.
