I’m a reliable, energetic, & experienced hard working individual who’s looking to become part of something bigger. I want my team to have the same type of values & core beliefs that I hold myself to. As a Father of 3, I’m looking for job security, a CAREER “ that’s not just a job” with a growing, transparent company who loves to cross train workers in different fields, one who values their employees; giving a decent home/work-life balance, and lastly, some form of financial stability for my family. I’m not afraid to work hard, showcasing my worth to my employer. I have the ability to show exactly what I bring to the table (talents, skills, work ethic, dependability, and reliability, ect.) and constantly hold myself to a high standard. That’s why I’m confident that I’d be an asset to any company. So all that being said, I look forward to hearing from you and Really appreciate your time and consideration!
