Experience
I have extensive experience in the consumer and commercial fields for automotive and heavy duty vehicles and trailers. The time spent in these fields has given me a broad knowledgebase of varying platforms in addition to managerial experience from 5 employees up to 20 at any given time.

My most recent education was at a technical school for computer information systems, computer networking, and Microsoft Office. This has given me an in-depth understanding of the systems that most industries use and rely on for the day-to-day business.
