About Me

Over the past 19 years since I was honorable discharged from the U.S. Navy, I have had many great opportunities. Working as a manager in one form or another, I have learned to incorporate many aspects of my personality and work ethic in to everything I do. I am a driven person that takes pride in everything that I do. I believe that any job worth doing, is worth doing right the first time. I dislike wasting time, once it is gone you can not get it back, and you fall to the wayside, or you try playing catch up and then sacrifice quality. I like to make a positive impact on my surroundings and I am contagious, everyone just can't help following the paths that I take.

I have above average computer shills using MS Word, MS Excel, MS Powerpoint, and MS Outlook. I learn at a rapid rate, picking up on complicated concepts the very first time. I have a hunger for knowledge that pushes me to learn all that I can about the position that I hold, so that I can be the best. This is what drives me quickly through advancement, I have always advanced quickly and generally end up being the go to person for information.

Generally I have an open personallity that allows me to excell in any thing that I do. I have a high sense of urgency and am able to multi task with the best of them. My training back ground has enabled me to speak to large groups and have fun doing so. It has also tuned my time management skills so that the tasks that I tackle can be completed in less time in most cases.

I do have a wide and varied background that I use to ensure that I do my best at all times. I always strive to be the best that I can be, and maintian a possitive mental atitude at all times.
