Self starter

I have been in this business for 35 years and  when I see something needs to be done, I act on it immediately. I am old school. I believe in arriving early and staying late to complete a task. If you hire me to work  for 8 hours, I do work for 8 hours.

I come to work, get along, do whats needed and go home.

Additional Information

I have recently retired, and I have found I have too much energy and knowledge to just stay idle. I still have a lot to offer.
