I am starving for information! I excel best from hands-on training. I am an accomplished automotive parts specialist with ten years of experience in customer service, problem solving as well as automotive knowledge. I also have a background of manual labor which instilled a good work ethic in me. Playing sports has helped me realize that being a team player is crucial to success. My hobby of building PC’s has turned into a love for I.T.; I’m now studying for multiple certifications including Comptia A+, Network +, Security + and the CCNA.

Ever since I was a child, I wanted to become a professional soccer player. I went to a try-out and they asked me to continue playing with the team. I decided to leave my job that I had been at for over 5 years to pursue this dream, as I was driving an hour and a half each way, every day to Harrisburg, PA to be part of the team. I continued with the team as a reserve player for the entirety of the season. I grew so much as a player and a person from this experience; I do not have any regrets.

*Five years of experience in roofing, service and metal work. (Reliable roofing, Rosedale Roofing, Cole Roofing)

• Service – I was responsible for visiting customers, finding and repairing leaks. Installing curbs and making sure they were water tight for AC units. Maintaining customer relationships.
• Metal Work – I was responsible for fabricating the metal that went out to different job sites. Was proficient in using a hydraulic ten foot break along with other tools to fabricate the metal.
