Colorado Springs, the company was sold and relocated to Las Vegas, NV. Howard loves the state of Colorado too much to leave it, plus his two sons live in
the Springs, so instead of following his employer to Las Vegas, he moved toFlorissant instead to help his aging parents. Howard's expertise is in electronics
and audio. He has also worked in mining for years, and has ten year ofexperience in operating heavy equipment. Howard has a high attention to detail,is self-motivated, and loves to keep busy. For fun, Howard enjoys playing the
drums in a local band. One of his former employers told us that Howard is loyal,reliable, hardworking, and easy to get along with. We are delighted to have Howard join our team.
