Summary
Highly-motivated employee with desire to take on new challenges. Strong worth ethic, adaptability and exceptional interpersonal skills. My need for more steady employment took me into welding, but my passion for community advocacy and youth development began as a young man living in Detroit Michigan. I became involved with mentoring youth via local non-profit agencies focusing on maintaining supportive and appropriate interactions with youth clients while building strong relationships with those we served.
