More details about your skills
Sandra - great with people, has worked in customer service for years, and has the patience of Jobe. Daniel - has worked primarily in marketing and advertising, but also in a small business setting as a manager, IT person, customer service and sales trainer; he is very good with computers and many types of software. He is handy and can manage most types of small repairs, carpentry and electrical work, also a good cook and loves to clean. Together we managed a mini-storage facility and are currently embracing the latest chapter in our lives, retirement and travel. We have four grown children and a grandchild. Two of our boys live in Germany, the son with the child lives in Idaho (but I heard he is headed plotting a move back to Europe) and our youngest and only girl hanging out in Perth, Australia with her Viking boyfriend.
