OBJECTIVE
Full time position in assisted living, restaurant, grocery, housekeeping, or janitorial work.
EDUCATION AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Humboldt State University – Graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Art Studio in spring 2013
College of the Redwoods – spring of 2006 through fall of 2007
Chico State University, Chico, CA – spring of 1975
AA Degree - Shasta College, Redding, CA 1972-1974 and 1995-1997
Please note: Due to very foolish behavior from 1991 until 2000 I had a DUI with a fender bender in 2000 and in 2005 lied my way into being issued a new California driver’s license. Then, in early 2008 I walked into a California DMV and told them of my crimes. I was arrested a little later in 2008 and sentenced to a felony DUI and Perjury. I then was incarcerated from March 2008 until July 19, 2009. I attended a live-in after care for felons in Eureka, CA for 6 months and completed my parole with no violations on July 19, 2012. I have fully obeyed the law since then and have no criminal history since. In fact after completing the aftercare program I attended Humboldt State Univ. and graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Art Studio in May of 2013.
So, if it’s in your power to do so, please, if you can, give me a chance to prove that I’ve changed. After all I’m also an Eagle Scout and do believe I have a strong moral compass, especially after learning what not to do the hard way.
