Summary

Who am I?

I have been in healthcare since graduating high school Before that, I worked blue collar jobs such as dairy farms and a family business of building. I consider myself to be a problem solver and find value in technology to reduce my workload.

I would consider myself very active. I enjoy spending time at home on my small farm and as I get older I enjoy flexible jobs that allow me to complete some work at home. I am not a good candidate for sitting for lengthy periods. I am not a good candidate for jobs that lack opportunity for financial or positional growth. I am a good candidate for an employer that values team approach. I am a good candidate for an employer that seeks a likable bedside manor.
