Objective
To resume working in an exciting workplace with the opportunity to meet and work with staff and clients on a daily basis.
** Note to reader. This resume has gaps in employment history due to the fact I sold my company “Any Time Money” and decided to retire in 2012.
After the death of my wife in late 2012 I decided to move to Florida.
I immediately started working towards getting my US citizenship which was granted October 18, 2021.
I have also fought medical issues which are now behind me and I’m anxious to get working.
