My father was an industrial arts instructor and coach for 38 years, so I was raised in a metal shop running lathes and welders by the time I was 10. He also taught commercial fishing and in the summertime we ran our own commercial salmon boat out of Morro Bay, CA. In addition, I was golfing, SCUBA diving and sailing all most before I could ride a bike. Also, in College I was an All American Wrestler with an extensive back ground in sports Medicine, worked in Restaurants from cooking to Management and spent the summers building custom homes with my grandfather. . Finally, I have traveled the world and understand the diversity of many cultures.
As far as other skills I will need, you will find I am a very fast learner and can hit the ground running today with a very positive attitude and still be a team player. I don’t turn off at 5, I work late, work at home, and I get the job done right with a winning attitude.
