Summary
I am a highly-motivated employee with a desire to take on new challenges. I have a strong work ethic, adaptability, and exceptional interpersonal skills. I also have a lot of experience working effectively unsupervised and quickly mastering new skills. I have experience as a Marine Mechanic for over a year and worked as an assembly line lead for 10 years. Towards the end of my career there, I also became a department trainer and trained all of the new hires coming to the bourbon barrel assembly line.
My wife and I have a hobby farm which has given me experience with animal care, farm maintenance, and land management.
