Summary

I am currently looking to advance my experience in the workforce to better fit the changing world around me. I have been totally submerged in the world of collectibles sales for the last 8 years, with an emphasis on customer service and shipping. I have simultaneously been working as a general laborer doing construction and maintenance for my uncle's property business until his death last year, so i am used to and hoping for maximum long schedules and as many hours as posssible. I am a dedicated, extremely hard-working, friendly family man looking for a chance to fit into the ever-changing world around me. I am currently looking for an opportunity to gain experience and relationships in the workforce to help further my goals. I have experience in the food and restaurant industry, factories, warehouses, construction, and sales.
