Safety Officer Manager

William "Mark" Wedding

Retired Toyota Motor Manufacturing Employee

Frankfort, KY

As a retired former Toyota employee. I bring to the table maturity, dependability, strong work ethics. I believe wholeheartedly in if you accept employment, then you have a responsibility to that employer to uphold a standard, developed by that company and take great pride in supporting their mission statement. Bringing that Japanese philosophy has several good attributes, such as adhering to company standards of production or brand modeling and not deviating from standards set forth by your employer. Post-retirement, I have been trying to focus on employment in which I have always been intrigued by and had an enormous interest in. Law Enforcement, I graduated from the Commonwealth of Kentucky’s Academy and proudly served as a correctional officer and fell in love with the work. I am currently working at Georgetown College as a Campus Safety Officer. The enjoyment comes from working with the students and being a positive role model for them.

Authorized to work in the US for any employer
