Summary

Flexible hard worker ready to learn and contribute to team success.

I left the restaurant industry to be a stay-at-home dad. I continue to work various jobs to contribute to the family income. I buy and sell antiques and vintage items. I have worked for several auction companies when needed creating their online sales catalogs for auctions. I’ve done 50+ of those over the last 10 years or so. Since my 2 younger children are now both in school I picked up bus driving during the school year. During the school break in summer, in addition to the buying and selling I always do, I have picked up doing DoorDash and Uber Eats. All jobs I’ve had or taken on since staying home with my children are the flexible type allowing me to be home for them when my wife is working.
