A desire to maintain and improve high quality turf and landscapes in the golf and sports field industry, all while implementing existing, and creating new techniques to achieve this goal. 

I am currently an active EMT-B in Southwest Indiana. My schedule, 24 on and 48 off, allows me time to get back in the game.

If you are in search of hard work and results, I'm may be just the guy you're in search of.
