available weekend and freelance mate, NE florida

[floridadeckie]

I figured I would go ahead and post up my resume on here, can't hurt to have it spread around as much as possible. If anyone on here is in NE Florida and needs a deckie for weekends or maybe a family boat that wants someone to teach them tricks of the pros, feel free to give me a shout via PM or email. Forgive the lengthy post, but aint it better that you know everything?
