Summary
While I realize my current profession and past work experience does not really apply to this position, as a 39 year old home owner and father of two boys I have developed many life skills that will be applicable to this job. I am proficient in using hand and power tools to build things or make repairs. I am comfortable using yard tools to complete basic yard maintenance. Also I can operate mowers, leaf blowers, chain saws or weed trimmers. At my previous job, In addition to Animal Care and Veterinary Assistance I was responsible for basic maintenance tasks such as simple repairs, lawn care and cleaning duties. I also have my Boater Safety Certificate from the US Coast Guard. I love fishing and camping and I am very comfortable operating and handling boats on and out of the water.
