What else ...

I'm an easygoing person who gets along with lots of different personalities. I enjoy the company of others and getting to know new people from different backgrounds/places. I love traveling and have visited parts of Central and South America, Southeast Asia, and Europe. I always like to have fun, but I'm serious about work and skilled in working as part of a team, but organized and detail oriented in completing jobs alone.
