I have been a printer, carpenter, builder,and fixer of just about anything i've had dealings with in forty years

of work force experience. I was sgt/E5 in the u nited States Marine Corps while in Viet Nam. I can either lead or take orders An d all I'm asking for is a job to do that cover my overheadand appreciate the ski lls I bring to the table.I am never late, seldom sick, and always give 100%.I ha ve worked for my present employer for almost 3 years and realize that as nice a man to work for,there has never been one better,but he will never pay me what I am really worth to his company. As an example his top oporations man,who runs th ings in his stead has been with him for 15 years and makes 12.50/hr.(I make just slightly less.)I have a more complete resume that should be updated and probabl y made a bit shorter but that is for another day.I appreciate any consideration that you might extend to me in making me a part of your organization. 4126 Mountain Creek Rd. #33 Chattanooga, TN 37415
