Summary

In 1995 I got my first independent job at West Rand Pet and Bird farm. I heard from my uncle that they were looking for a jack of all trades and would not care that I could not read or write, they did not think this made someone smart/able or not. While there were many other employees at this job, I was the one that stayed there the longest.


I am a very capable individual and while my reading and writing is not great, there are few things I cannot do when given the appropriate tools. When it comes to working with your hands, I am your guy. I can think for myself, I am reliable, honest and hard working and do not easily put anything in a too-hard-basket.
