CLOSING
I have yet to encounter a task too small or a project too
large throughout my professional career, working for or
with the private and public sector; during my military tour
of duty, as a graduate teaching assistant at a major
university or as an independent business person.
I am seeking an opportunity that will continually challenge
me as a viable part of any program or system and constantly
stimulate my desire to be effective, successful and
productive for my employer.
Respectfully,
Gary D. Druesedow
