My experience embodies a fairly wide and diverse knowledge and skill-set backed by strong work ethic.

If there's something I don't know or understand, I see it as an opportunity to learn/solve rather than pass it off on a co-worker.

I consider myself customer service oriented as I enjoy others. Maintenance & upkeep, troubleshoot & repair are quite enjoyable and fulfilling for myself.

• As to every problem there's a solution.

• I take a practical approach to all tasks I am assigned/responsible for.

• Preventive maintenance to the extent it applies is key. Authorized to work in the US for any employer
