Please do not invite me to connect on LinkedIn if we don't have a professional connection. But even if we don't, explain why you want to connect. Generic invites will be ignored if I don't recognise you.Work and life experiences have given me a solid foundation in customer service and coordination of multifaceted tasks, coupled with a strong technical and mechanical aptitude provide a highly transferable skill set.I have managed all aspects of a franchised lawn maintenance operation, stretched my creative side with video and photographic production and I have now added Hop Farmer and Craft Brewery Assistant to my repertoire.Running my own business provided me with many new skills but also honed many of the skills that I acquired previously. Examples are setting goals, researching, planning, logistics, process, execution and implementation.As an Assistant Director in the film industry we co-ordinated the logistics of the Directors artistic vision. A script is akin to a business or project plan, whether long term or short. Our plan would be broken down to its commensurate parts and those tasks would be delegated to the best people for the job. It was then brought back together to create the final, desired result. Skills very transferable to any task.I have long been drawn to creative endeavors although usually on the technical side. I have been involved with very successful live video production and a number of promotional video projects from inception to delivery. My photographic work has included creating highly interactive virtual tours that require both artistic and technical processes, to capturing some of Penticton’s most attended concerts via high definition panoramic photographs.Now my creative side has been expanded to include craft beer creation and manufacture and hop farmer. I'm seeing a bit of a pattern in that I enjoy nurturing and cultivating the parts that go into a finished product as well as participating in the final assemble of that product.
