I have listed before and this is a job for one special person. I try to have a family oriented staff, however it is a bit dysfunctional right now, loI.

This is a sample of what I ask, not everything. I might make jokes during an interview depending on you, I will delve further into your answers, This is my life and I need to try and get a feeling of whom I may be hiring and bringing into my home. If you are using narcotics, alcohol or other mind altering substances please don’t apply. Me, I smoke/eat Marijuana.
A little about me, at 17 yrs I was working at a very high end furniture manufacturing company, 18 yrs. I was a Head Trainer at a national health club, I had a wrestling scholarship to college, I worked in the movie industry. At 20 I attained another scholarship to Art School, I was a Team Coach at a gymnastics academy. Further in life I helped design and build 2 custom homes and remodeled homes along with working for an Electrical contractor. I have invented many parts for wheelchairs and disabled community in the world. I continued coaching wrestling after my injury at an Elite level, building homes/remodeling homes, working in the film industry and more. All of this has helped me live for the past 44 years with my injury. Although, I have died or nearly died at least 9 times. I like to drive RC Cars, fly stunt kites, go motorcycling, love concerts and plays and love all of my past and present doggies. I’m pretty much an open book, you can ask me questions and I also like to Talk Story.
If you think you meet most of what I have asked for above you may be right for the job. If not you probably shouldn’t consider it. Thank you and hope to hear from you soon.
