  • Description

    Hi everyone! My name is Gus, I live in Seattle, Washington, and am here to look for a fun opportunity to keep my self busy while I take a gap year between High School and College. I love to travel, workout, play sports, spend time with my family and friends, eat food, and play with my two dogs: Rufus and Tula.

    I have tons of experience working labor and physical jobs, (see my skills tab for more information) so I'm used to putting in the hours for any type of work. If you have something specific you're looking for then please don't be afraid to reach out, there's a good chance that I've done whatever it is you're looking for!

    Lastly, I'm a super sociable person and like to talk and get to know other people. Being in charge of my own company and clients, I've had the opportunity to work with people of all different types of demographics and backgrounds, with some of my strongest relationships being with those who you might not typically expect someone like me to have!

    All the best,
    Gus

    More details about my language interests
    English is my first language, and I'm 100% fluent I've been taking Spanish in school for 3 years. I'm not perfect but I can have some conversations and understand slightly slower speaking. I picked up Swedish and Norwegian very recently and am still very early on. I know some basic phrases and words. However I'm still continuing to learn both.

    Outside of that, I have lots of personal skills that I can also help with. I am extremely well versed in all things technology related. Laptops, PC's, Phones, Tablets, AI, you name it. However, my strong suit is undeniably with desktop computers. I have experience building computers from scratch, troubleshooting, diagnosing, fixing, and cleaning computers. I also am very familiar with Windows software, and Office 365. (Word, Excel, PowerPoint...)
