Summary
Employed since 1978 in the field of welding and manufacturing, I gained experience and skills which I took with me as I continued to grow both professionally and personally.
In 2004, I completed Act 235, Security Certification which started me on the career path of Security Officer, providing services and protection as an armed government contractor for the Wilkes-Barre Social Security building. Having recently retired from a fulfilling position after 20 years, I am seeking part time employment where I can put my skills to work.
In addition to employment spanning five decades, in a variety of areas, I have spent my personal life doing carpentry, electrical and plumbing work, lawn care, snow removal, chopping and splitting wood. I am not afraid of hard work and will show up daily to get the job done.
I value family and a strong work ethic, both of wish contribute to my record of excellent attendance as well as attention to detail.
