As a **-year-old male with many hats in the work force. One of my greatest accomplishments is owning and operating a successful mobile auto restoration company that generated over $600k in sales & it's 5-years of service. I also obtained contracts with companies such as Lyft Ride Share, Mobility Works, Ameridrive, and ARI/Holman. I've also had the opportunity to hire, manage and help 10 employees and their families navigate the uncertain landscape Covid-19 presented. By becoming an essential company I was able to keep employees working. Though hours were decreased, I utilized the company's unemployment benefits in order to continue payroll with earnest wages.
