I can no longer look at the following document and judge it with any objectivity. It has been tweaked too many times. The goal of translating what I have done into something that convinces people I could do things for them, for pay, is a tricky one. Not documented below are some of the less practical skills, such as; efficiently breaking rock with a hammer, accurately eyeballing the sizes of things ranging in size from
So here then is my resume. Formatting adjusted for the blog.
