BRADLEY TOMKO
Dubois
Summary
Originally from Youngstown, Ohio, I am a hardworking professional with 10+ years of varying experience. I moved to DuBois Pennsylvania in January of 2020, with the intention of building and supporting a family. Now as a father of three - daughter (6) and two sons (3 and 1 ) - and a husband to a teacher, I am extremely interested in this position. I feel my skill set makes me well qualified for this opportunity. I offer flexibility and adaptability, and pride myself on being a quick learner and team player. My outgoing personality and understanding demeanor will allow me to quickly learn job expectations and familiarize myself with whatever is put in front of me. I try to be the best I can be at everything, and focus on what needs done in a timely and effective manner.
