Ontario AZ license holder and FAST approved for expedited border-crossing clearance. Extensive driving experience in both manual and automatic transmission straight trucks, cab/chassis and van sized vehicles. Over 2.5 million accident free local kilometers in the past 25 years. Recently requalified Ontario driver's license to renew ACM-Z class license. I am qualified and licensed to drive highway coaches, transit buses and smaller 15 passenger vans and airbus type vehicles in addition to my previous tractor trailer (AZ class) and D class truck and passenger vehicle licenses. Negotiation, interviewing and analytical skills acquired both from traditional education and work placements. I work hard to add value to the corporate bottom line while maintaining excellent internal and external customer relations. My involvement with a historical aviation related charity consists of currently holding a position as Crew Chief of the Service Crew (our ground operations crew) and as a member of the Fundraising Committee. I have recently completed two consecutive terms on the Board of Directors of the organization and held the position of Vice President for roughly three and a half years during my tenure on the Board. I have previously participated as an Administrative Coordinator in an ongoing difficult CBA negotiation with a major international company. This bargaining experience resulted in a successful contract as well as providing very rewarding personal and professional growth. As part of these negotiations, it was an important factor to continually emphasize the mutual benefit of reasonable compensation for workers within a cost effective package for the company.
