Summary

Since I was in high school I had a very strong work motivation. I built connections with people and did work here and there just to make a dollar. My father was in the bread delivery business so he taught me a good initiative to have good work ethics. Being a merchandiser for a beverage company for 3 years also gave me great communication and creative skills to build relation ships and better the work environment. Being a truck driver for 3+ years now has taught me a lot about the industry and more about just driving the truck, but the ins and outs too. I am learning more everyday.
