West Vancouver,BC

Summary

I moved to Vancouver B.C. from Seattle, WA in April of 2021 with my wife who is a canadian citizen. I just recently obtained my Permanent Residency after a painstaking three and half years complying with Immigration services. Now that I am finally able to seek employment I am showcasing my multi faceted work and education history. My two longest tenured jobs include being a Firefighter/EMT for over 13 years and a Telecommunications Technician for 7 years. I have gained many valuable attributes and skills over an eclectic employment career and feel that I would be a valuable asset to any employer. I have always been hard working and shown the ability to learn new skills and apply them effectively.
