*******@*****.*** 979-***-**** New Braunfels, TX 78130

I am a multi-faceted, self-motivated, reliable, conscientious and knowledgeable hard worker. I have many years of experience and many years of learning. While I will never say I know it all; I have learned a lot over the years from some very experienced people in many different disciplines. I am looking for a company that will give me the chance to show what I do know and to learn what I do not know. Every company I have ever worked for; I have started at the bottom and wound up at the highest position I could go. I operate very independently. I require very little supervision. I try to not only think about what I am doing or having others do; I also try to think of other ways to complete the task that might be safer or more efficient. I would appreciate the opportunity to work for the right company. I do not mind travel for work. I have traveled for work the last 20 years and I am accustomed to this type of life. Thank you.
