Jonathan Dallas’s Summary

I'm an enthusiastic, creative and dedicated worker with a sense of humor that only an engineer could truely apprieciate.

Enthusiastic:
While I was at Dancing Deer, co-workers were always coming over to my desk with quesitons, because they knew that I would stop what I was working on to help them find a solution.

Creative:
www.kickasscupcakes.com and www.dallasdesigns.org/

Dedicated:
For over six years, I worked at Dancing Deer doing what I could to help the company grow. From setting up everything needed to get a remote site for 20+ employees up in running before the holiday rush to painting lines in the parking lot.

Sense of humor:
Two nuts were walking down the street. One was a salted.
