Accomplishments
I completely renovated a van to living standards after having to put a hold on college due to Covid. With mainly only having experience in carpentry, I had to teach myself to install all of the plumbing, electrical and solar system. I then traveled over 20000 miles to 48 states in 3 years. The gaps in employment over the last few years were in that time traveling.
