In my own words

— Joe

My background includes graduating from the Graphic Design Program at Santa Monica Community College on June 17, 2014 and experiences working with and riding motorcycles.

As you can see in my attached portfolio, the enthusiasm and passion I have always had for the motorcycle and action sports industry.

As my attached resume indicates I have knowledge of the graphic design programs, and computer software. I also have direct experiences in customer service and problem solving. Some of my work experience includes working in sales, warehouse, packaging, administrative work, data entry, assembly line building Victory motorcycles, and detailed work with boats. I have my California sales license for motorized vehicles, a Forklift and Skid Loader Certification, OSHA, CPR and First Aid Training. In addition, I completed a Parts Catalog and Lab course where I learned hands on working in a Parts Department.
