I imagine alot of you recruiters have been looking for someone with my skillset so I figure I'll just paste an excerpt of my resume in hopes you might want to get me in your database or maybe even have a position open immediately.

That being said, I'm from Ottawa looking to relocate to the Los Angeles area. Warmer climate is much needed. So that being said, you can email me at nshb(at)perity.com if this peaks your interest and you think you might be able to help. I will also send you a more complete resume as well.
