About
I am a 44 year old hard working person, I am very reliable, 100% with time keeping and always give my all off everything asked. I believe I am a good people person and get the best out of people on a managerial role. I strongly believe in the "clean as you go" policy and hate an untidy and cluttered work station. I am a non-smoker and non drugs. I enjoy meeting new people and learning new things. I am married with three kids, (21, 23, 26) and am a dog lover and owner of a German Shepherd.
Willing to relocate: Anywhere
