Summary
I am seeking employment that will allow me to utilize my skills for the benefit of the company. I have many different skills because of the different types of jobs I've had. My wife and I are semi-retired. We harvest in the fall from September through October, and like to travel across the United States in our RV, so the type of employment I'm seeking is seasonal.
