Dedication, discipline, and a broad background of knowledge is what I am able to bring to your company. Investigation and problem solving are two of my greatest strengths. The ability to look at situations from various perspectives and come up with solutions that are both functional and reliable is the key to truly solving any problem. My experience, education, characteristics and personal traits allow me to do just that. I enjoy a challenge, and tasks which require multiple disciplines and skills to accomplish the goal.
