OBJECTIVE

To secure a welding or welding related position in the Oil and Gas Industry. PROFILE

I have been in the Aviation Field for almost 16 years, and want to transition into a welding career. I was honorably discharged from the military as an avionic Sergeant with two deployments to Iraq. After my enlistment, I continued in aviation working on military, civilian, and corporate aircraft. I worked my way up to being a Field Service Representative and Subject Matter Expert for the Blue Force Tracker System, with two deployments to Afghanistan. After my second deployment, I decided to switch career paths and attended Hobart Institute Of Welding Technology to start with a good foundation. I am currently a senior avionics technician looking to “get my foot in the door” in a reputable company where I can become an asset and continue to develop my new trade. I am a hard worker with attention to detail, I have a good work ethic, I am flexible, and I am also a reliable team member. In my aviation career I have always followed all safety procedures, government (FAA), and military (DOD) regulations. Current Security Clearance, Bi-lingual, with reliable transportation.
