years of age I am healthy and in great physical condition to perform any task.
During my tenure with Sunoco, there was a strong emphasis and commitment to safe
ty, as well as an environment of team work. Controlling on spec streams and flow
s and dedication to the product was also a commitment. I was offered and accepte
d special upgraded assignments such as Dead Leg Project which consisted of locat
