Experience:

Note: For, at least, the last ten (10) years, I have pretty much been self employed, performing various different tasks, in totally different industries, in order to keep myself afloat, with skills I’ve acquired through my multi-faceted job history and titles I’ve had, ranging from mechanic, to paralegal, or dog groomer, to apartment maintenance technician, to doing drywall or setting tile, or being the onboard liaison to new employees, just to name a few…and, all of which, I have performed to mastery and with dignity, as there is no job too small, or big, for that matter, as long as it keeps food on the table and people happy, for the most part. This resume elaborates on experience I’ve acquired, and expertise, hopefully, as the job market is ever changing, and sometimes causes us to be in professions never thought possible, yet, it is a true reflection of the human spirit and our need to persevere, and survive.
