Summary

I am considered by many to be a "Jack of all trades". I Pride myself in my work and my ability to help others. If I am not already familiar with a task or equipment, I will familiarize myself with it, and manage each situation to the best of my ability. I am well equipped from past experience and training to accomplish anything that is ahead of me.
