To whom it may concern,

Having owned and operated my own custom woodworking business for over 25 years and then worked for an Aero space company machining missile parts, I feel that I would be a valuable asset for your company to assist in future growth. My experience includes business management in all areas; Such as, hiring, training, office work, sales, contracts, estimating, job costing, ordering, safety, inspections, quality control, shipping, customer relations, warranty work, operation set ups from ground level to finish production and optimization, organizing and overseeing crews in shop manufacturing and outside installations. I have set up and maintained all kinds of woodworking equipment and can design and fabricate all kinds of wood products. I also have experience in handyman work, such as; finish carpentry, wood flooring, plumbing, electrical, sheetrock, painting, hand railing, cabinetry, countertops, etc. I build custom media servers and have repaired computers. I have done in-home network set ups and smart home automation installations. I am artistic and creative. I have streamlined and improved processes and procedures to maximize production while improving quality of various products in my own company as well as at Klune Industries. I enjoy being challenged and solving problems of any kind. I have good people skills and like to share my skills and experience with others as well as being able to learn new things from my associates. I am energetic and optimistic in working toward a positive outcome to promote an ideal and productive working atmosphere. With my applied years of work history I feel that the knowledge and experience that I’ve gained would equal or exceed the many levels of schooling that I may have received from a university. I love to research and learn about new technologies and products, I am confident in my cognitive skills to understand and resolve issues or problems, and feel that I can be a great asset to this company.
