ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
Even though I do not have a degree I am a self-taught, self-made
horticulture manager with 35 years of experience. I am also very
knowledgeable in wildlife habitat with 40 years of experience. I have been
hunting, fishing, and working in the horticulture business all of my life,
and I have learned, obtained knowledge, from several pristine people. I am
confident that, even without a degree, that I can do any job presented to
me with regards to horticulture and wildlife.
