  • Description

    Eric : I love the environment and going on long hikes. I went to school to study environmental science and geology, so everything I do I try to work in some aspect of enviornmental health and wellness into it. I find it fulfilling to work with my hands, while also making a difference in my community where I can. I am no stranger to stress or hard working environments, so I often find myself in jobs that require a lot out of me, which is nice. I also enjoy music and live shows, so I try to find cool bands often. I have experience with taking care of animals and the elderly. I also have experience with construction/ carpentry, farm care, woodchopping, and general maintenance. I love taking on new tasks and obstacles, I think it is important to do something new everyday.

    Alex: Hello, my name is Alex. I am very interested in wildlife and history. My curiosity concerning wildlife stems from my time growing up on a farm. I spent ample time raising chickens, taking care of horses/donkey, and generally up keeping the family farm. I have plenty of time spent with animals of all kinds and have few trepidations regarding their care and maintanence. I have worked extensively behind the computer at a desk job servicing Restaurants all across the country. I am looking for a change of pace. Something that gets me out doors, meeting new people, and providing a new perspective that I can learn and grow from. I am a self-starter and work well in unstructured environments. I've built chicken coops, dug fence post holes, and moved hay. If I haven't done the job before it would be an exciting opportunity to learn.

  • What else ...

    I like doing outdoor activities or staying in if the weather is bad. I enjoy music, especially live music. I am also a bit of nerd so I enjoy dungeons and dragons and video games in my free time. My favorite movie has got to be the thing by John Carpenter.
