Andrew Hagar

I want to work for a company that's doing great things, has an awesome culture with a high morale and room to grow. I'm searching for a company that cares about me as much as I care about the job.

I have a heavy IT background which covers: User Support, Network support, software development, quality assurance, and project management.
I was a teacher for 2 years.  So, I'm prepared for my tasks and not afraid to speak in front of people.

Coworkers describe me as the guy who is always smiling!
