Work Experience:

Hello all, my name is Daniel Cooper from south mississippi. I served in the navy and navy reserve for 6.5 years total. Some of my strengths I feel include my patience, my willingness to always learn, and my work ethic. I went to NTI to learn the automotive side but after a few years I've realized that I'm not into it like I was with the few shutdown jobs I have done. Im eager to learn what I need to do to become an asset to any company that hires me and help make the company the best it can be.
