Summary
I have over ten years of customer service experience working directly with the public in a variety of scenarios. I've decided that I'd like to advance my career in a more physically demanding setting with the opportunity to work outside. I love working with my hands and learning new skills. I have always had a passion for nature and would love to be a part of the conservation of it. I've worked around tree trimmers my whole life and enjoy assisting them in side work. I do all of my own mechanic work as it's needed, if I don't know how to do it, I learn as I go and do all of the research needed to do it properly.
