Profile
I have been a blue-collar worker most of life. Running giant machines, driving large trucks and generally working with my hand. I decided to go back to school and get some new skills. A few years later, I am making webpage resumes, editing video and sound like a pro and engaging in social media key performance data for advertising purposes. The world is mine to fumble.
