Summary

I have a great interest in pursuing a career in pest control and am determined to expand my knowledge and abilities within the line of work. I grew up assisting farmers and communities with pest problems since I was young, and have a great passion for hunting, camping, spearfishing, and many more outdoor activities. I have excessive knowledge for rabbit/ fox control, and am eager to learn and master the many other skills in need to one day become a qualified pest technician.
