I have had very few jobs throughout my 20+ years of work experience, which signifies that I am a very dedicated, and hard working individual. I graduated from high school in 1989, and got a job as a fork like operator within a reasonable sized warehousing company. My jobs after that were all keepers, but I felt the need to pursue careers in a variety of different fields. I now realize that I am wanting to return back to where I've originated, in order to continue doing the work that I've desired most to do.

Summary
Skills
Accomplishments
I attended high school in 1986-1989 and managed to make it out of high school in a very high ranking. I was,in fact, just a few percentile points from being placed within the top 25% of those graduating with me. After high school, I began a career in manning the forklift for Baroid Drilling, where I was in charge of taking care of packages. I loaded the packages onto trucks for delivery. I was thinking of becoming a management in that field, but eventually changed my mind, and I went onto whatever life had in store for me next. Apart from that field of professionalism, I also managed to be employee of the month several times in other jobs that I'd worked in after I finished working for Baroid drilling, i.e--Harrah's,Primetime Seafood& Steak House,Houlihan's Restaurant, and Railroad Seafood.

Management experience

Undoubtedly, working at Houlihan's was one of the highlights of my work career. I was given such a great deal of responsibility that the average man would have given up immediately. I,however,hung in there, until I felt as though it were time for me to move on. While I worked there, I was in charge of training new employees, that possibly didn't have any idea as to what it would be like to work in that type of setting. That, along with making sure that the kitchen was spotless every night, as kitchen manager, made this career one of the most challenging.
