Hello All,

I'll be direct: I am beginning the process of looking for an upholstery position outside the US. Any guidance and help would be greatly appreciated, especially from ex-pats. While I don't feel it's relevant to discuss my reasons in this forum, I'll tell you it is not for nefarious reasons. My reasons are personal and legal.

Now, a bit about myself and experience:

I began in the auto trimmer trade in 1985 at age 21, so yeah, for those doing the math, I am that old. I have worked in the trade fairly consistently, either as an employee in shops, in my own shop, or out of my home. I have done restoration, repair, and custom work.

I'm experienced in all phases of auto, marine, and aviation upholstery, as well as some experience in aviation cabinetry. I also have several years experience in canvas and awning fabrication, as well as large tent construction.

I have a strong mechanical background, and not afraid to get dirty. I'm very detail oriented but not to the exclusion of the total work scope of any project. I can work well independently or as part of a team effort. I show up on time, everyday, ready to work. I have all my own tools but if I encounter a tool I need more than three time, I'll buy it.

Some examples of my work can be seen here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.4555114600777&type=3

I appreciate you reading this far and if you believe I am a possible candidate, or you can help, I'd appreciate your consideration.
