My Resume
See my resume here.
I purchased my first home at the age of 20 while attending college, using money I’d saved while working in high school to help with the downpayment. In high school, I was a lifeguard during the summers, and–also during summers and other seasons–I went door-to-door offering automobile cleaning and waxing services. This is when I learned the value of “word-of-mouth” advertising, ha! I held these ‘jobs’ while maintaining grades that secured a full-time academic scholarship to college, and while a ‘starting’ member of my high school’s varsity football team.
I saved nearly every penny I earned in the ‘auto industry.’ I then worked 40 hours a week while attending college full-time in order to pay for ‘basic’ expenses, including a home.
Some may think highlighting work ethics from such a long time ago is irrelevant. I, however, share this to show I am a man who’s worked extremely hard and with much dedication since my early teens. And I am wiling to put my hard work, experience and passion to work for the right employer whose mission is in line with my core values and beliefs.
