Summary

I have many years experience in the industry. I have been building relationships and understanding customers needs not just in business, but in this exact business.

I have built many strong relationships over the years, and have thrived in new territories. I'm confident and have continuously looked for new opportunities in my career.

My family and I have a strong desire to move to the United States. I understand this presents a few issues for a company like yours, but I also believe they would pale in comparison to the effort and the results you will see. I have relocated several times in the past and that presents no issues at all.

In closing, if I may, I just wanted to say I know there are probably applicants to your company who have been more scholastically trained. I went to the school of hard knocks, but I truly believed this has served me well in life and in my career. I have never gone anywhere where I was not liked and respected. I'm a man of my word and I truly believe in partnering with my customers to assure mutual success. I would be happy to provide actual customer contacts over the years who I believe would tell you the same thing.
