Martial Arts, Fishing, Hunting, and Working Out

I have been playing sports and doing things outdoors since I was able to remember. Whether it be hunting, fishing, football, wrestling, track/field, jujitsu, or kickboxing I have done it all. I truly believe that the hobbies not only are fun but also instill a sort of discipline, responsibility, and teamwork that is essential in every persons life. The kind of discipline, responsibility, and team work that these hobbies bring make a better more reliable employee, someone you can count on to get the job done in any setting. I can one hundred percent guarantee that these hobbies have shaped me to become the responsible, reliable, and disciplined person I am today and because of this I believe I will be a great addition to the team at Nutrien.
