Daniel Gibbons
Summary
Throughout my careers, either as a Forward Observer or working security, I have always strived to be a high functioning member of the team. I value being dependable, trusted and someone people can turn to when a job needs to get done. I thrive in the company of like minded people and relish an opportunity to push myself. I will be where I need to be, look how I need to look, and do what I need to do.
