(awaiting structured parsing)About
I am Luis Lopez. I was born in Argentina but moved to the United States 36 years ago. I am a US citizen. I also served in the American Army for 14 years in various positions, including Administrative, Infantry, Police, and Heavy Military Equipment Operator. I also worked in construction, owning my own company, and later as a Construction Superintendent, Project Manager, and most recently as a commercial heavy cargo truck driver. My intention is to return to my native country, Argentina, in March 2025. I am 51 years old and seeking a secure remote or in-person opportunity where I can demonstrate my work experience.
