Greetings,

	My name is Michael Joseph Salzbrenner. I welcome an opportunity to excel at a position in a honest, stable, flourishing environment, and appreciate the opportunity to expand into diverse applications. I eagerly await the chance to provide the skills that I possess, so that we might work together to surpass the goals of your company.

	My background has provided me an eclectic skill set of "mechanical" and “technical” abilities, reflected in over 20 years of experience with configuration, assembly, modification, and repair. I learn quickly and work relentlessly to achieve my goals, and enjoy any chance to learn new things and accomplish new challenges. This allows me to perform any job or function with minimal supervision, including those functions not related to my current position or skill. My most advantageous assets are not only my wealth of knowledge from my years of experience, but my ability to adapt, absorb, and innovate.

	I am reliable, articulate, attentive, meticulous, congenial, and honest. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss my abilities with you in person. If you would like more information, please contact me at any time and I will do my best to expedite your request.
