Professional Summary
Focused worker with strong attention to detail, commitment to safety and many years' experience in fast paced stressful environments. Bringing understanding of appropriate protective measures, correct equipment operation and how to effectively contribute to team success through dedicated and responsible work. Worker with strong mechanical aptitude and willingness to learn. Detail-oriented with a distinguished ability to stay focused and accurate after long hours of work. Adept at making sure the task at hand is getting completed. Successful at working with others or independently.
My main goal is to get into the Welding Field and to work hands on with fabrication and repair. I am going to attend Divers Institute of technology to become a Commercial Diver.
While I have not attended Divers institute of technology I believe that that type of welding is not out of my reach, and is obtainable. To seek and maintain full-time position that offers professional challenges utilizing interpersonal skills, excellent time management and problem-solving skills.
Accomplishments
Some of my greatest achievements have been the projects ive been able to do by myself. Having a rusty old pickup has definitely had its ups and downs but many of learning opportunity's as well. When I had a hole in the bed,i had to creatively think of a way to solve it. Due to no one being able to help me. I learned that you're not always going to be able to have the clearance or the ability to finish a job exactly how you might have wanted to but that theres always another way.
Learning how to move object that are awkward, heavy and dangerous,the safe and smart way always seems to show itself at the hardest part of the job.

Education
Ferris State University
Big Rapids, MI
While i was attending Ferris State i came
to a very important conclusion, that this
path wasn't for me. Education is very
important and i plan on continuing my
career in Welding Engineering
Technology, I have come to find that
getting straight into the task at hand and
learning the mistakes in person rather
than knowing three theoretical on paper
makes a much longer lasting impression.

Free Time
Throughout middle school, and highschool i was an avid softball player, the best part of summer was facing off against the teachers and faculty who had taught me and my class mates so much throughout the school year. That doesn't mean these kind of games were the easiest to win for them either.
During the weekends and during the week from time to time, Ive been using my skills that ive picked up through jobs and family throughout the years to help neighbors with their brakes or changing a tire here and there. Ive always tried to lend as much of a helping hand to those around me as I can.
Since I was little I always had the obsession with taking apart toys or anything I could really get my hands on and find out just what makes them tick. As I got older not only did i learn that some things are better left as is so I learned how to put things back together. These skills have stayed with me through the years and has inspired me to be in a field not only where I get to see how things work from the inside but be apart of constructing the entire machine itself.
