I'm the guy you want... That came off as pretentious, didn't it? I'll attempt more humility in the future. You want smart, ambitious, talented, and willing - I'm looking for the opportunity to prove my excellence and somewhere to watch the fruits of my labor manifest into something amazing! You'll have my resume by end of day. Thanks in advance for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Tristan Ford
