Summary
Although I do not have my 10:01, I do have practical knowledge, experience, and am very adept at problem-solving under pressure. Being a tradesman doesn't hurt either, as that experience has also helped out on the fireground on multiple occasions.
Working in supervision and management has given me team-building and leadership skills.
A strong work ethic is how I have achieved all the goals in my life, and it will always be my go-to strategy.
