Ive also been allowed to work with an incredible diversity of machines, seeing machines work together, manage machines networked together and witnessed many different aspects of just how the laws of physics makes things work and can allow things to tear themselves apart. While my actual work is to care for and repair machinery, more fundamentally it is to be the best possible partner to customers to help them be successful by keeping things running smoothly.I enjoy this task of repairing and caring for all the machines, and I have taken full advantage of my interaction with these machines, over the years, and have obtained expert knowledge for quite a few of them, helping to make me successful.Work ExperienceOutside Sales Representative Food Processing EquipmentPro Sales Inc.
