Summary

I possess several licenses, schooling, training and job experience in a variety of fields. However, for 27 years, I have been continuing to strive for perfection in my suited trade of welding, fabrication, and mechanics. I have had a full, home Ironwork shop (In the background, while also maintaining continuous full time work) for more than 20 years now. I work alone and I am extremely proud of the building and mechanical skills I possess. Having this background, I'm hoping my resume will also show my abilities in other areas, as they can be proven through my employers. I have strong leadership capability, I learn extremely quickly, and I'm able to be put into extremely difficult social situations while mediating fair and pleasurable outcomes for everyone. This has been invaluable in my leadership role with a high stress working environment. Additionally, I have a proven track record of reliability and above average work ethic. I am hoping to build on these assets in a field that is more suitable for this chapter of my life.
