Additional Information
I am inclined to explain that I gave up an amazing 13 year career as an online auction setup manager at Orbitbid.com because my wife and I are adopting a child, and the travel involved was not conducive to that.
I have since been seeking a new career that keeps me close to home, and working “regular” hours. I am a no nonsense, ethical, honest, hard working intelligent person that strives to be the best at whatever it is that I do, and that takes complete ownership of any aspect of my position. My intention is to find a career that has the proper pay, advancement, benefits, and self fulfillment, that I can be completely dedicated to and eventually retire from. I have yet to find that since Orbitbid.com. I went to college for computer engineering and held a roughly 3.65 gpa with an average of 17 credit hours per semester. I had to drop out due to a divorce about 6 months before I got my associates degree, because I had to return to work. I can do almost anything I set my mind to, and I am considerably mechanically inclined, analytical, and self starting.
