Summary
Born and raised in Alaska. Grew up in a town where you either work at a store or a commercial fishing boat starting at 14 unless it is a family operation. After graduating highschool I went to helena montana to go to their tech program for aviation mechanics. Never finished college but have some experience. Eventually went back to alaska to commercially fishing year round. Ended up in boise ID and worked jobs to keep myself busy until fishing season came depending on which season I would do. I am a quick learner and great with working with others along with training too. I can adapt to any weather and listen well. My hard work ethic comes from the 10+ years working on a commercial fishing boat. I have no issue attacking a problem head on or discussing what is needed to be done first. I can take accountability for my mistakes and will seek to learn from them right after.
