About Me

With a variety of work experience, I'm ready for anything task sent my way. I have sales experience ranging from drinks to artwork. I have customer experience ranging from helping homeowners decide on the best way to treat their lawn to bartending for a full restaurant. I have technical experience ranging from irrigation installation and programming to building custom computers. I started my first job at 15 years old and I've been working hard ever since.
