Summary
I am a 20 year old hard working person. I love to work and be active all day. I grew up always going to work with my dad as he built patios and retainer walls etc, and I would always help out when I had the chance. I grew up playing baseball aswell all throughout highschool and also studied construction management pretty much all 4 years at school. Due to my dad not being able to work anymore I gave up on baseball and started working my butt off in the construction trades and fell in love. Now I am looking for a company where i know there will be a great future in.
