Profile

I am a motivated task orientated worker who cares about the well being

of others. One of the values my father instilled in me was a full days

work for a full days pay. Over the years I have worked with people

from Corporate Presidents to people living in shelters, and I believe

the real benefit from my experiences is that I have learned "it is not

always about what you have; but about what you do with what you have".
