Lake In The Hills

Summary

I am a hard-driven worker who will always take the initiative to improve and work with the people who employ me. I enjoy working alone and with people if the job requires it. I am always wanting to learn new skills and information to help mold me into a better, more informed person. If you need someone to get something done, I’m your man. I take pride in my work, especially when it comes to animals, and our beautiful ecosystems. All in all, I take my work seriously, but I can also have fun when the time is right. I will always strive to improve myself and the company for which I work.
