I was a Security professional for this company. I did patrols and front desk work as well.

I have been a part of Suiters Automotive for about 15 years and have had many job titles. started off as a detailer until I finished my Professional truck driver training. After that I started driving to numerous states retrieving vehicles that the owner had purchased from private sellers to auctions. I have been a great asset to the company and very dependable.

I was a food service specialist for the US Army for four years. along with all the cooking work I learned a lot on working on my assigned deuce and a half truck doing preventive maintenance  on them. I was sent to Desert Storm in 1990 and 1991 til it was finished.
