My employment at Angelica, Texas Textile Services, Acme Brick, Hines Steel Frame Homes, Acme Electric, the University of Rochester and the USAF Academy has given me a great deal of experience that I believe would be a valuable addition to your company’s Management Team.

All my Management, and highly technical experience and skill enclosed in my resume should give you an idea that I am capable of learning and adapting quickly to a new environment, trouble shoot/problem solve equipment issues, manage and task personnel in a demanding environment, work with management, staff, and coworkers, and accomplish duties in an efficient and expedient manner.
