Summary
I have owned and operated my own security business for the last sixteen years, (which I have recently sold). It is now time to move on to my next adventure and to showcase my skills and knowledge to my next employer. I have the ability to adapt to new environments, and I am eager to showcase these skills and contribute to the success of any new employment I enter into.
